Scarlet Robin (Petroica boodang), Meehan Range, Tasmania, Australia: photo by JJ Harrison, 13 February 2009
JJ Harrison is a remarkable nature photographer from Hobart, Tasmania.
"Scarlet Robins are not too difficult to spot if you look in the right places. It is another matter to get within a few meters of a wild bird for a high quality photograph. In this instance I’d spotted this bird previously in the Meehan Range. I knew the species was sedentary and territorial so I was able to return to the same location a few times until I got a photo I was happy with. I waited patiently near a perch where I had seen it before with the sun to my back. When it arrived I took a few photos before it left again. I believe the camera was hand-held. I used fill flash with a home made version of the better beamer to even out the shadows created by the sun."
