n the hundreds of times Lismore-based photographer Andrew Sooby has walked the Byron Lighthouse Precinct, he doesn’t ever recall ever seeing Ospreys – but last weekend  his luck changed. “These shots are of one of a a pair which was patrolling between Clarke’s Beach and the Eastern Most Point,” says  Sooby. “They hovered over Wategos, beaks into the strong northerly wind, virtually motionless for minute or two at a time, before suddenly banking away to let the wind push them further up or down the shore line. I caught one of them diving to the surface and drag something out, and another one from underneath, flying high.  They were truly awesome.”

Says Sooby: “I shot these on a Nikon D750; 24-120 zoom, each set at 120mm; each ISO 100; each at f.4; each at 2000sec.”

When photographer Andrew Sooby was at the Tweed Regional Art Gallery recently, the moody weather prompted him to catch this atmospheric shot of Wollumbin, (Mount Warning) near Murwillumbah.  “The storm was out there,” says Sooby, “and it was a perfect moment to capture it.”

Andrew Sooby used a Fuji XE2; lens at 300mm (35mm equiv); 1/1600 sec; f11; ISO 200.
