AF Nikkor 28-105mm - a very useful lens for an oldie :)

I didn't know Sigma made one of these :wink:
Nice shot Chris. Is he a baby or is this a pygmy possum. We have heaps of possums down our way but they're big suckers, the size of feral cats.
Cheers
John

About three feet - who would be alarmed when they can nibble on a delicious apple :lol:

I sometimes use apple bribery to try and get our bunny to sit still for photos. Trouble is, she steals it out of your hand, and then runs off to eat it in a safe spot!!

Never work with kids or animals... Looks like you have the possum technique down pat though!! :) :)
