Misc Nature Photo's Thread

[2wheelsagain]

First topic message reminder :

Since yesterdays off topic hijacking of re-cycled's ride thread, Gus and I have been challenging each other via PM to post our best nature photo.

I'm sure he wont mind if anyone else joins in. There's some good snappers amongst us.
No prizes. Just share your best work.

Rules;
I think we'll limit it to one pic each per day
Anything to do with nature.
No photoshopping except for basic adjustments.
If you're a professional you should declare it in the post.
Max 1000 pixels wide.
Description optional.

Here's the big G's effort today. Taken at home today.


Here's mine. Taken at Walhalla last year


Come on, join in

Nice so you went right past me and didn't say Hi!
Nice shot BTW . That is the infamous Samurai Beach in the background, further up past the rocks (4WD and nudity permitted).


Now for today's brilliant, amazing Coffs Harbour photo update.





Mutton Bird Island N.B. not a mutton bird (white faced heron?)



I Know you're all conspiring to make me double-post

but whilst I'm the last post I can edit to my hearts content and I wanted to add a shot from today's ride to Hawks Nest.

Gus, my shots are no better than yours. You havent seen how many I reject

[Baz]

excellent shots lately guys, eagle, kookaburras, doves, beaches
thought I'd show some autumn in Neville last weekend

Pretty Baz
Something that is brought home to me each time I leave Aust and VIC for that matter is our over use of road signage!
There is at least 7 in what 120m? in your shot Baz.
Nice colours though. It would be interesting to take a couple at different times of the day from the same spot. Different sun angles etc.

As a SA boy visiting my NSW cousins I concur! I didn't seem to have time to take all the info in at a glance, its an overload!
And while I'm at it your pedestrian rules are off the planet! but man you got some nice bike roads!

[Big Al]

Thats an awsome shot Chris!
