The first ever photo I took was in Melbourne at the botanical gardens. It was of a Black Swan and I used a Kodak Brownie camera that was taken along for the day by my mother. I was about six or seven I guess. Which means I have been snapping for around 60 years. I captured these swans at Eagleby Wetlands.
Always very photogenic - i like the last one seeing them glide past through the vegetation
Always good to see these birds
Any cygnets yet ?
Dont take life too seriously, it never ends well
I remember the Kodak Brownie. Very popular camera in its day. Such a shame to think that Kodak didn't embrace digital photography and as a result had to close their doors. Looks like you have well and truly been smitten with the photography bug again.

Thanks Whistling Duck. I agree. It's good to portray birds in the context of their environment in any set of pics.
Not that I have seen so far Laza, but I have just started going to this location. Hope so! Cheers.
Thanks Reflex. I think Kodak invented digital photogtaphy, but failed to capitalise on it. I have that old pic somewhere and will add it to the post when I find it!
There is little one can say about swams that has not already been immortalised in poetry, or painted in the arts. Lovely graceful birds and lovely to see such nice photos. thanks for sharing
Happy Birding!
