Well, I am sure this classifies as wildlife photography

I reckon this has got to have been the most photographed water dragon of all time, this guy posed and reposed countless times as a plethora of funny blokes with dinky cameras attempted to creep closer and closer...

Thoughts on white balnce on this one? I have quite a few of this guy but there is quite some variation in the colour temperature

This guy made friends with Colins bag on a step and I suspect his final fate was to a shoe of an unsuspecting walker :|

I wish I had got a better image of this multi-legged bugger but he was moving a rate of knots...

The WB looks fine to me on the Dragon! You go a stunner...the 105 in action again?

I would not have liked to run into that multi-legged critter when I was on the ground taking photos of Fungi! Where was this monster?

I prefer the second one here for
the angle, sharpness and colours.

yep! thats the 105, gotta love that contrast it gives, not to mention the sharpness!

The centiped was on a log above the creek, however I am sure there was plenty of unseen spiders, bugs and stuff that we rolled around on throughout the arvo!

I do have another showing off his yellow stripe better but I agree the angle in this one is nice :up:

The first two a crackers! The snail is my personal favourite. While the centipede isn't as strong as the other two, it a bloody fast moving target so you did extremely well given the other two were happy to pose (at a guess).

Gerry - the snail is the standout here because of your excellent choice of camera angle and DOF.
