I would prefer a little more seperation between which is why I say either side of this moment, but you take what you can, these guys don't look like the sort of guys you ask to pose for you

Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2005 10:28 pmGlen I was actually working when I was taking these pictures. So no I did not have time. I was very lucky in that these guys (actually Mum and daughter) where so close the the truck that we were in. You can actually see the paint from the car on the horn of Mum

Posted: Tue Apr 05, 2005 10:49 pmGlen it was the Rangers car at Werribee. I am really hoping for another work trip there this year. One of the advantages of my job is that you get to go were the general public don't go.

Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 12:41 amWell captured and very touching
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 12:01 pmGreat shot Mal,
If only they were both standing more backward with their horns touching, facing a bit more head on and you could see both their eyes.
That would be a brilliant shot.
Well done on this one.
Mic.

Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 8:35 pmG'day Mal,
You must get such a buzz working with magnificent creatures like this... When a few of us D70 members went on the Werribee photo shoot, you couldn't really get a true idea of their sheer bulk until they were near something you could scale them against... Until the mum stopped the bus!
Great photo too, love the symmetry, would have been nice to see the young'ns eye but are you gonna argue with 'em? I ain't

Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 11:26 pmTotally agree Mudder, we were sitting in the back of a Hi-Lux truck. Mum came over and her head was right next to the tray. I tried to get a shot off but needed a "Macro" lens she was that close. It really was an awesome experience.
I was luck enought to have a similar day today, we were working with Koalas and Dingos.
Photos coming
