I loved Tasmania. My first wife was Tasmanian and I spent many months down there fishing and exploring. It's a medium size island like the one I live on in Canada. Lots of wilderness, wildlife and beautiful rivers. The only photos I have are photos of old photos and the colours have faded.. I no longer have the negatives... silly me.

This is the stream where a Tigersnake (very venomous) bit my instep. Fortunately, I was wearing waders and thick socks that diffused the venom.

Found this creature on the path of Koh Libong Beach Resort one night

And this one was running across the beach at SomChais Hat Yeo resort

Very nice capture! A lot of expression! I bet it would also look great in b/w.

I'm particularly proud of this shot, made one hour ago (and chosen among twenty) of a simple fly on the young fruits of a palm tree.

Proud because it was a freehand shot and was nearly completely on focus, not easy with a DSRL with an heavy 100 mm with an ring flash and the subject loves to move around the branch.

EXIF: 1/40 at f11 ISO 400, 10% cropped and little color balanced.

Well done Sir.

Yesterday has been a good day, trying my fresh Sigma 150-500 (so hard to keep freehand without a mono/tripod).

These are my first attempt to photographic hunt, without a tripod and with a 12 Mp camera. So some cropping, some noise for the high ISO, some micro movement, etc

Those were lovely shots, Anguid and Koknia. It looks like in one picture the egret is going after a swimming snake.

This is NOT my photo, but I thought it was too good not to share. Its a case of being in the right place at the right time.

Even bird husbands have sometimes had enough.

This guy took up residence near the backdoor for a while until my GF's attempts to feed him scared him off.

Neat photo, Old Croc. Where abouts are you living? I've only seen the big monitors in a few locations in Thailand. They are interesting beasts.

You are making good use out of that long telephoto, Anguid. :jap:

I live on a hill overlooking Patong. Many residences here, but lots of jungle further up.

This guy wasn't the biggest, but a good size.

Thanks, Ian. For the price (around 1000 Us$) against the 5/6000 $ of the Canon or Nikon competitors, is a wonderful glass. Like every extreme telephoto, it is not so easy to use handheld, much better with a monopod or a tripod.

And I'm just at the beginning!!
