Obahn Busway Adelaide Tunnel Entrances Saturday 27 January 2018

A warm 36C in Adelaide today.
My knees were aching for a bike ride.
I cycled in to take some photographs of the new
$160M  Obahn Busway Tunnel opened on
Monday 11 December 2017.

Very happy with this capture yesterday, although the shutter speed could have been a little faster.
I used the back focus button on my Nikon D90.

A Kookaburra returning to it's nest with a meal of a skink lizard.

and on the same walk yesterday a pair of Galahs Necking.

A photograph taken at about 1AM of the Torrens Weir.
A flood alert was issued for the river.
We tracked the river to the weir in Adelaide CBD.
The photograph is a 4sec hand held exposure braced against a rail.

Leo frolicking beside the flooded Torrens River.

A slightly slower frame rate. The speed of the bus is relative to the duck preening it's feathers, the speed of the cyclist and the flow of water. There is a missing frame coz the transfer rate was too slow or I lifted my finger momentarily?? hence the cyclist jumps ahead.
There are 34 frames in the sequence. Oh and the bus jumps ahead too which would help explain the accelerated speed
