While wandering along the banks of the Murray River, I stumbled upon three majestic pelicans hanging out on the shore. Wanting to capture this beautiful moment, I decided to get up close and personal with them. I carefully approached the pelicans, making sure not to startle them. I even went as far as laying on the ground and commando crawling to get as close as possible without disturbing them. It was definitely worth it because I was able to get an amazing shot of these elegant birds. Sometimes, as a photographer, you have to go the extra mile to get the perfect shot. Whether it means getting down on the ground and crawling towards your subject or waiting patiently for the right moment, the end result is always worth it. And in this case, I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my patience and dedication to capturing the beauty of nature along the Murray River.
