First paragliding Pics

A couple of pics of Mike Annear and Eric Tromes (red glider) at Serpentine Perth WA, The Eagle is renouned for attacking the pilots wings at this location and the last photo shows him claws out a 1/2 a second before making contact with the glider.

Eric tried using a loud compressed air horn but the eagle just let out a war cry and had another go?

First Pics with the D300

Everlasting in my 3yr olds hand at 200mm. I believe the VR must be pretty good as we were both a little shaky!!

Monarch Butterfly

Anigozanthos Manglesii

Calothamnus Quadrifidus

Isopogen Dubious

Hibertia Cuneiformis

All the pics were taken handholding the camera on an overcast windy day. Some of the pics have been cropped but thats all.

New camera

Well I finally took the plunge and bought myself a digital SLR,
I got myself a Nikon D300 with a Nikkor 18-200 VR lense which should be ideal for the trip around Oz. I can't believe it took me so long,as these things are awesome.
It's going to be great to get back into photography again and cheaper now as i can just deleat the crap shots.
I have so much to learn and not just the digital photography side and all the tricks of the camera but also the editing and publishing side as well.
I have taken some shots in my garden and I am impressed at how close I can get with this zoom tele lens, I should be able to get some great macro shots as well as landscape shots with this lens.
Look up happy in the dictionary and you will see a picture of me:)>
