I wasn't sure if I had ever posted these before, and a search seemed to support that, so following Nat's adventures in Africa, I thought you might like to see these.
They were taken way back in 2007, with a 30D and a Sigma 18-55 2.8 EX.
I went out 'bush walking' in Western Australia, in 44 deg C
, hoping to see some snakes and Kookaburra's.
Didn't see any, although the snakes probably saw me
, but I did come across this female Kangaroo with a Joey in her pouch.
She didn't move away, although she was very wary of my presence. I managed to get in quite close, by moving very slowly. Only having an 18-55, I needed to get reasonably close (the picture has not been cropped).
I took a shot with every step that I made towards her, so as least get a shot before she moved off. However, she stayed put, and these were the closest, as I didn't want to 'push my luck'.
I wouldn't have done this with Nat's Lions!!
