Pelican In Flight

In 1986, I was invited as a guest speaker of the Australia Photographic Society Annual Convention, Adelaide, South Australia. I had the opportunity to visit Kangaroo Island during the pre-convention tour. I remembered taking this shot on the island before the actual tour programme started in the morning. As they say: The early bird catches the worm! I used a shutter speed of 1/250 sec with a Telyt 250mm lens on my Leicaflex SL. The image was captured on Kodachrome film.

This image won me another PSA Gold Medal for the Best Slide of the Show during the 26th 35mm International Salon of Photography held in Hong Kong in 1988. This is one of three PSA Gold Medals that I had ever won from the same international salon.
