Description

on Wallis Lake.
This scene was captures on a miserable winter afternoon a few miles south of Forster. It would have been a good day to be indoors by a log fire with a glass of Port.
At the other end of the lake the white spots are two herds of Pelicans, I counted in excess of 70 birds.
Taken at 1/1250th of a second, f11.0 and ISO-320.


Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 250, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 105.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90
