Watching Over a Prehistoric Chicken

Walking through the outer-realms of the village, on our way into the forest, we came across this family, steadily guarding their Cassowary chicks.

Members of the Wanang community live fairly subsistence lifestyles. Cassowaries are a favourite form of protein - they are raised like chickens until they get to a size where their claws become too fearsome - they can easily disembowel a child or dog.

Glowing Web

The recent misty weather has turned the autumn cobwebs into works of art, with the water droplets forming tiny beads along all of the web strands.

This was my favourite from a range of shots I attempted; I wanted to keep the whole web sharp but couldn't achieve that whilst keeping the background acceptably out of focus so felt this was the best compromise. The bokeh has a misty feel that I quite like, although I'm not sure if it was conditions or my camera setup that caused this.
