Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 6:38 pmDid you know....and very few do...that the little one is actually carrying the big one on its back? That's how they do it!

Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2006 7:31 pmCute moment, lovely creatures... Try playing with the image a bit in PP with levels/curves etc, might give it more "pop"...
One question, why F10?

f/10 because its a nice round number..
not really, I reckoned that was enough to keep the wallaby and joey in focus and blur the background a bit, from the distance I was taking it.
I did play with the levels a bit, and settled on its current appearance, I think the subject stands out well from the background and looks natural as it is, and any more contrast and it starts to look fake, IMO. I dont like going too far from how things look naturally for my nature photography... but you're welcome to disagree
time to turn the comp off and head up the hill, theres a storm on its way.
