Echidna’s are one of the only two monotrem’s in the world. The other being the Platypus. We were lucky enough to see three Echnidas on our trip, but unfortunately no Platypi. This Echidna was a little shy at first, hiding as best as he good from the camera, but after a few minutes he poked his head up just enough to see his eyes. JB
During the 4500km journey we came across at least a dozen Koalas. They are funny creatures, grunting and growling at night and spending the majority of the day drunk on their eucalyptus leaves. I did get the opportunity to take some photos of the koalas and to get really close as well. Keeping in mind these are in the wild, we respected their space and only photographed them for a short time. Thankfully they were quite happy to pose! JB no comments
Just after Christmas, Kim and I set out on a Journey to photograph the Murray River and have a bit of a holiday at the same time. The Trip ended up turning into 4500kms and covering the entire Murray River, a brief trip through Adelaide and then returning via the Great Ocean Road and Melbourne (which we only decided about half way through to do!) The epic journey was a magical one – we saw so much wildlife, and beautiful scenery. The wildlife included 3 Echidnas, 8 Koalas, 5 Emus, a pack of Wallaby’s, Seals, Penguins, a whole bunch of native birds and much more. Over the next month or so I will be putting many more photos online as I go through 1500 odd and scan 23 rolls of film! Here is a sneak peak at a few of the panoramas. Many more to come once I get this film scanned (the vast majority of panoramas are on film so it will take a little longer than the digital counterparts, but the amazing colour and sheer image quality will be worth the wait. There will also be a few surprises and treats in store including a couple of videos and stop motion landscapes! show 2 comments
Wildlife photography requires so much time and patience, thankfully sitting by the river on a beautiful summer day is always an enjoyable task. After 3 hours of trying to capture these Australian birds – I concluded a longer lens is needed! The Kookaburras were trying to feed their young and were definitely concerned about our presence – one of the kookaburras held the wood grub in its mouth for at least an hour before finally diving into the tree to feed them. It was well worth the wait and capturing this unique moment of a kookaburra IN an old gum tree! Over the next month or two I will be photographing a lot more wildlife so stay tuned!
