Sitting Duck
This little duck wasn't going to budge from its pool-side seat next to the lotus pond in Centennial Park, even when we got witin a metre of it with our big cameras.

Pretty Fly
Sheltering from the heat of the day, we noticed these cute little flies on the leaves of some trees in Centennial Park and decided to explore the macro settings on the camera. An article I read said that the way to photograph insects is to never get between them and the sun - your shadow alerts them to your looming presence - and never breathe on them: apparently they have CO2 receptors in their skin that alerts them to the mouths of larger animals getting too close for comfort.
