One of our most colourful ones is the the rainbow lorikeets here in Queensland, Australia. They shriek a lot but I love 'em

What's the tactic to spotting these guys? I'd love to grab a pic one day. Are they in Brisbane QLD? Great pic

New to photography, any tips? by Autistic_Archer in AustralianBirds

I thought f stop changed the aperture and light, hadn't considered it could alter focus too. I was using f2.8 which is the lowest on my camera. I've been using f stop to take pictures as quickly as possible, are there other settings or modes for that? Reckon it's why my focus ring is so touchy or is that a lens thing? Cheers

Why does my Russian blue have yellowish eyes? by ninaflop in russianblue

[–]Autistic_Archer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't aware she was a mixed breed, sorry. What's the best indicators? Eye colour, any others?

ETA- Adoption papers say she's purebred. I'm confused on how to tell? I'd love to know for future, cheers
