Animals from Around Oz

G'day all,

I may not be known to many but have been around Oz with the kids for the last 12 months in a 4WD and camper. Along the way took a photo or two and thought I might share a few. Before that I would like to thank publically our very own Stubbsy who came to my rescue when my camera took an unexpected fall from grace from the roof of the car at about 90 kph. The body sort of survived but the kit lens was not so fortunate blowing up into little bits. Peter helped me get a replacement pronto so thanks!

I will start with a few of the animals we captured, comments welcome.

I really like # 2, 3 and 4. #2 is the standout IMHO due to the stance of the wallaby and also that it is looking straight at the camera. I would probably do a bit of sharpening as it appears a bit soft. Maybe also work with the contrast/curves to try and bring it out from the background.

JMHO. Some great shots!

Thanks for the comments, I spent a couple of hours climbing up the side of a gorge taking photos of the Wallaby, they were fairly friendly and I got a few good shots. I am thinking of getting some sort of book printed up with some of the animals we sore for the kids, will definitely include one of the wallaby
