Photography from a Bird Hide
Here are a few images from the Bird Observatory at Broome, Western Australia. This is a purposely built bird hide on Roebuck Bay, Western Australia. There are many birds in this area both inland and along the shore line. The area is most important as a sanctuary for migratory shorebirds at certain times of the year.
What Is In Your Bag
Those of us who are into photography, generally over a period of time we will collect quite a lot of photographic equipment. Personally I prefer a backpack to transport my gear as I find it easier to carry than a shoulder type bag. As we collect more equipment our bag will be carrying many valuable items, so make sure your bag is of good quality. If we purchase an excellent quality bag it will last many years, in fact I still have an old trunk style bag I have had for over 30 years.
Protecting your Lenses
Protecting your lenses is a very big consideration in your photography. Firstly if you love photography you will have quite a lot of money outlayed on your gear and most of that outlay will be on your lenses. Many photographers make big mistakes here, they will purchase expensive lenses and then get cheap filters to put on them to protect the front element, but the cheap filters will degrade the image.

The Histogram
The histogram on your camera is the most important camera control or tool to ensure that you capture a full range of tones in the image. When you look at the histogram it essentially represents the number of stops of exposure which the camera is capturing.

The movement of water can help to create interesting images. In order to capture images such as these it is essential to use a tripod, as shutter speeds close to 1 second or greater will be required.
