Long Wing, Short Wing

Posted on January 31, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

Perspective really can be fun. I wasn’t thinking too much about using this photo due to how the wings appear, but I think it’s worth sharing anyway. It’s a pretty standard photo, but I really like how the perspective affects … Continue reading →

Hirundo neoxena

Posted on December 19, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

Specifically, two of them. This was taken at Centennial Park. I’ve tried to photograph these birds before, or at least birds that look like these ones, and I’ve not had much luck. I hope you enjoy.

Two in the Air

Posted on November 16, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

A photo of two rock doves as they move through space by the power of flight. 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 … Continue reading →

Ibis Walking

Posted on November 10, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

I was in Centennial Park yesterday afternoon which gave me the opportunity to get this photo. There’s nothing particularly good about it; it’s competent, but I like ibes and so I wanted to share this photo. I hope you enjoy.

Direction Up

Posted on September 6, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

I’m not sure why this silver gull did this particular pose. Then again, I may be remembering this incorrectly and it wasn’t so much a stop as it was a brief hold before completing the motion. I hope you enjoy.

Silver Gull Landing

Posted on September 2, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

A rather lucky photo, albeit one with what I feel is too much noise. I like how this sort of feels odd in a way. The gull feels like it’s more angular than usual, and as though its proportions are … Continue reading →

Starling Leaving a Bollard

Posted on August 11, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

Another photo of this bird. Sort of creates a set, sharing this does. It’s also a really lucky shot as I’ve been trying to capture the moment a bird takes off and this is really, really close, I think. I … Continue reading →

Common Starling

Posted on July 20, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

Also known as Sturnus vulgaris, European starling and starling. I cannot recall a time before two days ago that involved seeing this bird. It could be the first time I’ve seen one and, seeing as it’s an introduced species, I … Continue reading →

Psaltoda plaga

Posted on March 20, 2023 by Stupidity Hole

I was walking around Sydney Olympic Park when I saw this cicada and decided to take a picture. I was a bit worried bout it but it flew off so maybe it was resting. Not sure. Not the best photo … Continue reading →

Flying to the Top

Posted on November 7, 2022 by Stupidity Hole

One of those lucky shots. Not the best of photos, but I like it as it’s just a thing that’s happening and it’s probably one of the most mundane things ever, but it’s still really interesting, I think. I hope … Continue reading →
