G'day all,
Called in to see my mates, couldn't resist posting these couple, no matter what the species, all babies are cute
#1 is from today, #2 & #3 are from another day.
Cheers.

That's amazing - black fur with very fine detail preserved. Chalk that one up to "a photo you can't achieve on a Canon".

Mudder,
Excellant! If ever I get over to the "eastern" states you will have to give me lessons in control of DOF.
Love 'em all,.............. but the last one..........reminds me of the Ex, same expression in the eyes I think,
Great Pics!

Andrew, I love these pics and your mates!!! I have never seen these animals before, only on tv and so on, and well the colours on #3 is unreal. Very nice animal and you have some great shots of these as i have seen before and well they are just fantastic.
Cheers
John

#3 is very sharp, great detail. love it.
too bad you couldnt get a clean, up close of the baby, that would have been a good one

G'day Netmagi,
All with the 80-400VR, Terrific lens usually at around f8 unless I need to open up to get a faster shutter, I think with these I was upping the ISO to about 400 or so to get a faster shutter speed...
The 80-400VR may not be as sharp or contrasty as the 70-200 (and hunts a bit in low light) but I find myself needing even more reach than 400mm quite often...
Thought I buggered the colour balance on #2 as that one (and #3) were both through thick double glazed glass... I always find it tricky getting the colour right when shooting through thick glass...
Cheers.

HAHAHA Rob, if only i was that colourful. Lisa said the same thingm only i am fatter than him, there is a reason i dont go swimming or to the beach i dont want to be mistaken for a beached whale. Lisa calls me a Bull i think is like a Bull seal.

Great shots Mudder,
Love the little guy
I have shots of the same creature but all I had at the time was a Tamron lens & they certainly don't look like yours.
Well done.
Mic.

The 1st and 3rd shots look great to me.
The 2nd looks like it has a green color cast, like you were shooting through tinted glass.
