I popped out late with the Nikon D3000 last night, hoping to capture the setting sun glinting from tree trunks against a stormy sky. Of course, as I grabbed my camera, the clouds moved and I missed it. I ended up with these interesting images. These are only cropped and bordered in GIMP. I love the textures, though I think these are what are called noisy photos.

I think I captured misty rain coming across the paddock in the next one. I didn’t notice it at the time, but when I walked around our house block to get closer to the kangaroos it caught up with me.

I stumbled across a heavily-discounted sale on Udemy the other day. I ended up buying a photography course, plus a couple of writing oriented ones. Every time I venture into my Nikon D3000 for Dummies book, I leave it keen, but forget pretty quick. Hoping this course will help. I’ll take my time and learn each step before moving on.

Thanks for visiting. Do have a great week.

On the first of our camping trips, last year, I spotted this Horsfield’s Bronze-Cuckoo.

Another first for me, not having seen one before.

Lucky I took the photos (Nikon D3000), for it was not about the next day.

Sized around 17cm, this Australian cuckoo has awesome metallic colouring. It parasites the dome-shaped nests of the fairywren and thornbill, laying just one egg.
