Buick Gangsters

I really love this image as they reminded me of some old gangster/mobsters characters from an old movie.

But the reality is they're a couple of nice blokes driving wedding parties around, check out there web site.


I put in a link, in good faith for letting me take their photo.

I converted this to BW and added a little film grain, I think it adds to the image.

Primates

Bright eyed and bushy tailed. These little guys were just great little characters they seemed happy and industrious.

Red Tree Kangaroo

These guys were more than happy to have their photos taken whilst sunning themselves and admiring the view.

Fur Seal

I think these are fur seals.

Orangutan

Orangutan Melbourne Zoo

Otters

Had a lovely day at the Melbourne Zoo today. Here are a few of the images I took. These guys were just so busy the whole time I was there.

Yellow Daisy

I'm beginning to see a theme here, flowers and macros. Maybe this is my calling, I do love macros and I love flowers even more as I'm getting older. They never argue when you take their photo and they never complain!

Nodding Greenhood Orchid

Nodding Greenhood another find on our travels yesterday. These little guys are all of 4 or 5cms in height, easily missed but numerous. F/20, 1/10s, ISO 800.

Cobra Greenhood Orchid

Yesterday my wife and I went hunting for Orchids and boy were we rewarded this Cobra Greenhood was only one of two that we saw all afternoon. F/29, 1/3s, ISO 200.
