Lotta birds this month, plus I finally got a chance to try some more astrophotography. Gulls These photos were the result of my father and I heading out to the lake. We are both big fans of the work of a friend of ours, Tony. Since the day was overcast, we decided to try and emulate his style - pushing the exposure of the background to make it white, while exposing the bird correctly. https://pixels.jallier.xyz/posts/22-january-favourites/ Fri, 01 Apr 2022 00:04:37 +0000 https://pixels.jallier.xyz/posts/22-january-favourites/ New year, same old me. Once again I have neglected this page for months and am doing catch up. One of these days i’ll remember to keep up. A lot of the photos i took in january ended up being portraits, or photos that no one apart from me will care about, so i’m not going to post them here.

I wasn’t kidding. I like to think I improved a little bit from the previous month and I generally like these photos more. So here you are, lockdown birdpocalypse - part 2. Flower shots I’ll get these out of the way first.

In august, Auckland got hit with a delta outbreak and so I got stuck in my flat for the entire month. Luckily it was spring, so flowers were just starting to bloom and all the tui starting coming out. So this month and next month are totally dominated by birds, espcially Tui. This was my first time trying to take photos of them, so these photos are a little rough.
