Eastern Grey Kangeroo
Ive just spent the last few weeks in Australia,My first trip there and definantly not my last,Mostly it was a proper holiday and a family one so time out with the camera was limited but i was pleasantly suprised at the amount of wildlife available if you looked around,I though Kangeroos would be easy and that they would be everywhere but i was wrong and had to travel to see them and like roe deer disappeared during the heat of the day and came out at dawn and dusk
Canon 1d2+500F4 1/30@F9

Love the motion and the background has an almost 'Monet' like feel to it.
Welcome back :wavey:

Next time you come over let us know you are coming, we here in Stawell would be glad to have visitors from the other side of the world as most of us came from there originally. We have good number of Nature Photographers in our Club here at Stawell, that goes for all of you blokes on the other side. Nothing like having the local knowledge on your side is there.
Charles R Kerr,
P.s Stawell is in Victoria on the Northern Fringe of our Grampians Ranges that pretty badly damaged by the fires of January 2006.

This is cool.

Not only have you got good motion blur on the BG, you have caught the vertical motion on the kangeroo aswell.

Maybe a tad tight in the frame but I like everything else about it!

Hello dave
Good to see you back, and looks as though you have had a good break.
I can't add anything more useful but praise for this image, it really moves!
Best wishes
