WOW great photos and what an amazing experience Leanne

love the last 2 photos Grizabella my arthritis has become so bad this year (and due to it I have put on more weight) that 100m walk is now a marathon It takes me days to recover just from the walk to the Chimp enclosure and back at the Monarato Zoo. Am hoping it will improve as the weather does. Leanne

Love the photos. I think you have captured the essence of both the breeds in your photos Leanne

Perfection in every photos Spoony Leanne

Amazing photos Spoony I especially like the 3rd one :) Leanne

Thank you all :) wow Spoony a 40" screen is massive Leanne

I would love to do this but do not think physically I would be able to keep up Leanne

Am finding the beauty in sunsets now that it is not so freezing cold outside Will have to invest in a nice wide angle lens for landscapes soon :D this one I have entered it in the local Ag show Leanne

Got to play with some more Ragdoll babies yesterday. Really liked this lot, could of easily stolen one :) loved this one this little one just wanted to play and attack the lens "I swear it wasn't me" Leanne

Thanks T I am so glad to get into photography and to finally see the beauty that has always been around me. I love the wetlands and spend so much time there now :D Leanne

Thanks T, that one is my favourite to, oh and thanks for the tip about the towel. There was 2 schools arrive at the Chimp enclosure just before I did, oh course Zuri was really "hamming" it up for the kids but I could not get close enough to take advantage of her antics. She certainly loves a big crowd. Thanks Grizabella, next time I am going to try and get there just on opening as most of the animals like to sleep in the middle of the day lol Leanne

Finally managed to get out to Monarto last week. The weather was perfect and all the animals where taking full advantage of the sun and sleeping in the shade managed to get a few photos, shooting through Perspex covered in finger prints is a learning curve :) Leanne

Love the photos Spoony, T and CC So far I have only seen the common birds around, would love to find some "Birds of Prey" to shoot :) CC the Tamron 600 is next on my wish list of lens, but want to get a better body first so will be a while yet A few more of the local birds, I went to this place to mainly shoot the sunset but got there early enough to get a few photos of the wildlife first :) Caspian Tern White Eared Honeyeater Purple Swamphen Leanne

Beautiful photos and what a great locations, such diversity from the beach to the woods Do you use a filter or is it an editing program to get the look that your photos are so well known for? Leanne

Thanks T :D Leanne

What a great gift and beautiful photos :) Leanne

Mish Grandpa is still around and loves it. He even made my son drive it to his place so he could show his neighbour as the neighbour used to abuse Grandpa for having the "piece of rusty shit" in his back yard. Guess he sure showed him :laugh: Leanne

Thanks T :) Leanne

I just posted some photos in the Bird thread and it has uploaded the photos nicely but has a heap of the code left on some of them, is there any way to remove that? Leanne

A few more birds. Love photographing birds but have realised I now need a bigger lens, the 300mm is just not enough :laugh: IMG_4489-0-Edit_fb by IMG_4492-0-Edit_fb by really wish this one had better focus IMG_4502-Edit-fb by IMG_4503-0-Edit_fb by Leanne

Thanks guys. Have finally worked out how to get a photo up showing the true colour. Leanne

Stunning photos Persephone shows just how diverse our beautiful country is in such a short distance compared to other countries. Leanne

Thank you so much Leanne

Thanks to T I have worked out how to use Flickr and it seems to be holding the colour. Here is what the photos are meant to look like :laugh: IMG_4455-0-Edit_fb by leannewalding, on Flickr Leanne
