GALAHS

my first attempt at capturing these Galahs down on our local oval. They work in teams of 30 or more, digging in the ground for beetles. I need more practise. I found it hard to keep my camera still enough.

You have done a great job Chris! I love galahs, they are so much fun to watch!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful collage of wonderful shots. Seems that you have galahs as much as we have pigeons.

[Brianna]

A think this is a fabulous attempt! You've caught these playful birds in so many different interactions and places! Love it! :)

@gigiflower thankyou Sam for your positive support. It spurs me on to keep trying. I love Galahs and these ones here are so used to people and dogs walking nearby they dont move till you are fairly close

[Chris K]

@sangwann thankyou Dione for your wonderful support. I shall keep practising. I think I like Galahs much more than pigeons.

@lilminimonka thankyou Brianna for such positive comments. You take such wonderful photos it means a lot to me and is great encouragement

Fantastic captures of these magnificent, intelligent and playful creatures. They look focussed to me - do you use a tripod?

[Chris K]

@teiko thankyou Emilie for your positive comment. No I didnt take my tripod this time. I always feel glued to one spot when I use it but will take it next time and see how it improves things.

You did a good job! Have never seen such birds, don't think we have them. Glad you created a collage!

[Penelope Ann]

Cool collage! Yes taking photos of wild life is very trying :-)

[Anjali]

I like the second pic a lot, nice landing shot.

[Nefrit]

I LOVE parrots and I LOVE this series!! I am so stealing the collage idea! Great photos beautifully presented!

[Dawn Ulmer]

Delightful collage.

[Yao RL]

[Niki]

Wonderful shots. And they look great put together in a collage. Well done :D

[Chris K]

@kiwiniknak @yaorenliu @deu49097 thankyou so much for your positive comments. they are of great encouragement. I shall persevere with my bird pics :)

[Chris K]

@nefrit We have lots of wonderful parrots around us here but they are hard to see up high in the trees. They love gum blossom. Thanks for your positive feedback. I think a collage works well when you want to show different aspects of your subject.

[Chris K]

@anjalikoli thankyou for your lovely comment. I was very lucky to get that shot. the galahs were landing so fast

[Chris K]

@pennystot thankyou for your positive comment. I love collages as you can show different parts of your photo story

[Chris K]

@naomima thankyou for your lovely positive comments. galahs are Australian native birds. We have many parrots here but its the galahs that like to peck at the grass for bugs. the others live high in the gum strees

[Luke]

Brilliant collage, I really like the bottom left and top right photo. Nicely done Chris :)

[Chris K]

@padders thanks Luke. I love Galahs. we had a pet one when I was little but I really think they deserve to be free. they are such a lovely pink and grey.
