A Single Swan
There seemed to be something wrong with this swan. I think it may have been ill. Maybe it wasn’t, but it was behaving in a way that seemed diminished. This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. … Continue reading

Leaving Water
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

Swan Preens
So I’m pretty sure this swan is doing the preening thing. Whilst not the most clear in terms of detail, I really like the swan’s form in this one. It seems kind of odd, but it also makes sense. I … Continue reading

Swan Bathing
When I took this photo it was the first time I’d seen a swan bathe in this manner. It almost looks like it’s coming to surface rather than floating there. Almost. I had to crop a lot of this photo … Continue reading
Some Point During the Flap
More swan action. One of those lucky shots, I feel. There’s something odd about this photo, but I feel that that may be due to the swan’s form and how it almost doesn’t appear to be in motion. I hope … Continue reading

A Swan Feeding
Here’s a photo of a swan feeding. I feel as though I stuffed up on the focus, but overall I think the photo is neat. Will need to do better next time, however. I hope you enjoy.
Black Swan in the Rain
This was one of the swans I saw on my birthday. It was keeping an eye on me, which I imagine was due to making sure I didn’t get too close to its child. I like how still it appears … Continue reading
At the Step
Another photo of these two swans (previous ones here). I like this photo but I’m not sure I can explain as to why. I think it has to do with the colour balance and the simplicity of the scene, but … Continue reading

Cygnet in the Rain
A few weekends ago I headed out for breakfast with my partner and my friend. After eating we went to Centennial Park for a short period of time. It was raining and it felt relaxing to be in the park … Continue reading

Cygnus atratus
Two that were running on the water shortly before this photo was taken. Great, powerful form in these two birds. I think that they look large in this photo, but that’s probably got to do with the wings, and also … Continue reading
