Magical shot! How long did you have to wait for the pose?
31 Mar 2008 8:25am
@dobbino: Not long... :) He liked me ;)
And is this your new camera?

@dobbino: Hi Rob! No, this is my first camera and I always carry it with me - I sometimes use both. The Nikon has a smaller lens but takes excellent pictures - it's easier to get the lens through a fence than the Sony :) Like to use the Nikon for closeups/macro. Thanks for asking! Wouldn't mind a Nikon D40.... maybe one day when I win the lotto :))

Awesome shot Ina. Where are you shooting all this marvelous animal shots?

@Graham Russon: Hi Graham! I'm sort of surrounded by Nature Reserves! Three big ones and a few smaller ones that I like to visit. I have a lot of patients - sit and wait for the right moment... that's why I prefer going alone, or during the day when every one else is working :)
Splendid macro shot, excellent work.
