Photographs by David Rennie
I live in a small city called Mandurah in Western
Australia, 80kms south of Perth on the ocean. I sell cars for a living and
have done so for 24 years. I love fishing have a small dingy and live 3
minutes from the river and 10 minutes from the ocean.
I am self taught. I shoot in manual mode only and 98% of the time at
100 ISO at the lowest stop (2.8) and the fastest shutter speed. I shoot
off the camera and only crop and do some minor exposure adjustments. I like
to think my skill is in the lens not the computer. I do not have the
monster lenses that are needed for bird photography so I also consider my
skill in getting close to the birds as part of my style. You know your invisible
when they land on you!
I look for the things you don't
normally see, and I can spend hours watching for that one unique movement or
smile. Yes birds smile. They exercise, spit, laugh, talk, fight, and argue,
just like us. When
you think your going slow; slow down again, and see what's really there.
