Met up with Finch for a quick scout around Brisbane Forest Park after work this arvo. Didn't get much time as there was a BIG storm closing in (see separate post) . Will have to get back there. Great place. :D

Luv the 2nd one in particular. Exceptional amount of detail and super duper sharp.
Was the snake in the wild or on display??
Kanga looks evil with those eyes.

Well done. Agree with Bernie on the mini meet venue

Very nice pics Mark. I've always like the kingfishers. This is another place I would like to get to if I get a chance when I'm up. I understand it's a big place. Whereabouts did you guys go within the park?

not being from up that way, is this place like a zoo?? or are these from the wild.

in either case you have come up with some great stuff.

Mark,

Good to see some of the shots from our get-together at Walkabout Creek Wildlife centre yesterday.

Like the close-up of Brown Tree snake and the feathers on the Top-knot pigeon are just amazingly sharp. I also agree with a few of the other posts - what happened to the Pretty-faced wallaby's eyes ?(they look evil!).

For those interested, the shots were taken at the wildlife centre at Brisbane Forest Park. This is on Waterworks Rd in the Gap, Brisbane. Its a $5 entry fee but lots of critters.

Cheers

Michael

Thanks Folks.

I have to admit, yes, the Brown Tree Snake was behind glass. Very cooperative too and inquisitive so made for an easy subject.

Might have a play with the kanga as the auto-red-eye reducer went a bit crazy and produced Dr Evil Kanga :D

Nice shots Mark
Where do you get the time to take all these shots?
Like 'hopper evil' the best.

Thanks Craig,

Early starts and then an hour shooting in the arvo.

Often duck into New Fram Park or Botanical Gardens for 30 minutes around lunch time. Camera is always in the car, plenty of opportunity.

Taking them is the easy bit. It's all the PP'ing that takes all the time. Don't see too much tele. :roll:
