I was only about 2 metres away in my kayak, slowly floating towards the pelicans, to get this shot.
Happy Australia Day

@rosiekerr @lealady @kwind @hermann @eyesmile @cashew @stevej @gigiflower @cynthiak Thanks so much for the lovely comments and favs

@kerrynz Thanks Kerry. I focused on the pelican as I floated towards it, kept the button down and took a number of shots while aiming towards the pelican. My auto focus helped some, as did the fact that I was so close
January 28th, 2015  
I notice the shot was take at 225mm. What lens have you got on your 600D Robyn.
