[> I love the new background and all the animal pictures. Beautiful!!! So ----you know what's coming--- how did you take them? Did you zoom in for these shots, or did you take a picture and then zoom and crop it? Did you use a prime lens? I just found out my brother has a 500mm prime lens AND a compander (sp?)...he's been holding out on me!! -- AmyLynn, Tuesday, April 01, 6:30:02 [1]

[> [> Amy, I rarely crop to get close to a subject as it means the resolution suffers and the overall file size is reduced. I just bought a new lens with vibration reduction built in, so I was testing it out this weekend. It's a 70-300mm lens, which I tend to use at the 300 end to shoot zoo pix. Everything was hand held and I shot at both 200 ISO and 400 ISO depending on how much shade was involved. -- KatRose, Tuesday, April 01, 8:52:28 [1]

[> [> [> Cool, I think I actually understood everything you just said! Great pictures. Now I can't wait for our weather to warm up so I can go, too. -- AmyLynn, Tuesday, April 01, 9:11:11 [1]

[> Love the new pictures. I'd say your new lens is working well! What is the creature in the 2nd-to-last photo? A wallaby? This little guy looks kind of like a kangaroo but not exactly, and I understand wallabies would fit that description. -- Ninja_Girl, Wednesday, April 02, 6:46:10 [1]

[> [> Definitely a wallaby. And if you look closely you'll see a joey in her pouch. -- KatRose, Wednesday, April 02, 9:46:13 [1]

[> [> [> Thanks to you, finally I have seen what a wallaby looks like (still looking for the joey) - I never took the time when I should have, but in 2005 locals around here kept reporting a creature on the loose. Those seeing it thought was a kangaroo or wallaby - yeah, sure in central Missouri??? They got the same reaction as somebody seeing UFOs from a swamp while drinking. It was one of those off-and-on, Bigfoot-type stories from early sightings in the spring until its sad ending in the fall. Sure enough, people had seen a wallaby, even in this unlikely habitat.

[> [> [> [> [> Thanks! Didn't realize that was the pouch - thought it was space between chubby legs. I can't distinguish a body inside, but is that a little brown leg resting on the pouch opening? Partly blocked from view by a leaf? -- Ninja_Girl, Wednesday, April 02, 15:19:55 [1]

[> [> [> [> [> [> That's actually the joey's face. The black spot next to the leaf is a nose. The grey is its nuzzle and the black "hole" near the top of the pouch opening is its right eye. -- KatRose, Wednesday, April 02, 16:28:43 [1]
