Watching the Other Land

Posted on July 5, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

At least, that’s how it appears to me. This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. Participating is pretty straightforward and something I recommend. If you do, then include the tag “monochrome-madness” in your post. If not … Continue reading →

This Gull

Posted on January 17, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

It almost appears as though this silver gull has no distinction between its head and the front of its body. I hope you enjoy.

Gull, Wings Down

Posted on September 23, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This silver gull was flying along The Cooks River. It was lucky that the photo turned out as it was much darker, though admittedly the background isn’t that relevant so I probably could’ve left the shot as dark as it … Continue reading →

Corvus coronoides in flight

Posted on July 30, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

Behold! an Australian raven flying to some place. To a sign I believe. This one was seen around La Perouse and I found it odd to be so close to the ocean, but seeing as I don’t know much about … Continue reading →

Muscovy Sitting

Posted on July 16, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

Here’s another photo featuring a Cairina moschata, though not the same as this one. Same small space as the other one but this one had more black feathers. Anyway, this is a simple photo. Not much to say about it. … Continue reading →

Moving in Multiple Directions

Posted on June 28, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

This was taken at the same time as these photos. I didn’t include this one with those as it didn’t quite fit. Still, I like the result here. There’s a good deal of disturbance on the stuff covering the water. … Continue reading →

A Great Amount of Green

Posted on June 17, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

A lot of green in this photo. Perhaps more green than birds. Not sure what to say on this one. Pretty happy with the angle; not so much the view of this small bit of environment. Too much cover on … Continue reading →

Leaving Water

Posted on June 4, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

A photo I took of a black swan leaving water to look for food… I think. I feel this would have worked better taken at a lower position. I’ve made the swan look smaller than it is, I think. I … Continue reading →

Underside Revealed

Posted on June 2, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

Same duck as the one I shared yesterday. I think monochrome worked really well with this duck. Probably just the right conditions for it to do so, which I guess means that was the definite. Anyway, I really like this … Continue reading →

Within Ripples

Posted on June 1, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

Probably because the duck is creating them. I think monochrome worked really well for this photo and I think that has a bit to do with the overall lighting. Also, it almost looks like the duck is sitting at a … Continue reading →
