I finally managed to get a dragonfly at rest.
A grass hopper out of the grass.
To top off the day there was a red shouldered canon weilding Wazza
All in all a good day out,

Wild life up the mountains
How about this cheeky fellow. He sat on the wing mirror so I managed this with the 105 macro

Re: Wild life up the mountains
Wow Colin - I really like these shots
 The first is a red wattle bird, and a nice shot too !! Would have been nice to have a little more of the bird in the frame - even a little more of the shoulder would have been good, but I still like it the way it is Damo just got all excited when he saw your dragonfly shot - it is a Petalura gigantea, or the south-eastern petaltail. These guys are BIG, classified as 'very large to enormous dragonflies' The hopper shot is nice too - illustrates beautifully the developing wings (this is a juvenile) And as for that last shot - priceless  Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships! -Ansel Adams

Re: Wild life up the mountains
Thanks all,
It was a rather large dragonfly and I think it was on its last legs, as it were. Very placid for one of these. Ta for the ID. Here are a couple of the wattle bird that have not been cropped Rel, They were taken from as far back as I could lean in the seat  http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r213/Colin12_2007/DSC_7589smll.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r213/Colin12_2007/DSC_7585smll.jpg Regards Colin Regards Colin

Re: Wild life up the mountains
Colin,
Great images. I agree with Rel on the first, it would have been nice to have a bit more of the bird. The background is great. Fantastic detail on the dragonfly. They are quick buggers. Lucky yours was resting. I like the grasshopper the most. Great muted colours.
