Australian Hobby

I saw this guy perched on our neighbour's TV antenna, but by the time I grabbed my camera I only got one shot off as it took off... But I was pretty happy with the result.

Morning Mist

I headed to Herdsman Lake early this morning and got a few shots. The mist on the water was quite nice.

New Nikkor 300mm f4 lens (新レンズ：ニコン300mmf4))

I recently sold my bigma and have just bought its replacement: a nikon 300mm f4 prime lens. I haven't had much chance to use it yet, but my first impressions are good. It is much faster to lock on to the subject than the bigma, takes beautifully sharp photos, and with an extra couple of stops of light than the bigma will give me better opportunities in low light. Here are a couple of pics using this lens. Keep an eye on my website www.michaelhelbigphotography.com from time to time to see more photos from this lens.

最近、シグマの50-500mmレンズを売って、新しいレンズを買った。ニコンの300mmf4。まだ使う機会は少なく、この写真しか撮れてない。最初の印象は、このレンズはシグマよりピントを合わすのが早く、しかもより奇麗な写真が撮れる。このレンズを使うのを楽しみにしてる。このレンズを使って撮る写真を私のウェブサイトに載せるので時々www.michaelhelbigphotography.com見てね。

Check out the look on this guy's face as the wave is about to eat him alive!

Looming Wipeout! (痛いっ！！)

Somewhere near Yallingup, Western Australia, this guy pulled into a wave and gave me a great photo op!
西オーストラリアのヤリンガップの近く、この人が波に乗ってワイプアウトしちゃった。ラッキーなシャッターチャンスになった。
