Friday Photo: 13 June

One of the persistent challenges to photographing kereru, is getting on the same level as they are.  Otherwise you’re always pointing the camera upwards.  Which is distortionary and it generates a lot of views of kereru backsides.  The latter isn’t a very popular subject.

So in this case, I’d spotted that the birds were feeding off the berries of a ti kouka (cabbage tree) and I could get on the same level.  With a bit of patience, it was possible to capture a variety of photos.
