Two more pictures, this tome of some kangaroos, this was really a test of the zoom sinxe i was about 300-400Metres away from the kangaroos, I also like who bright and vibrant the colours are:

Wow! kangaroos!!! I never see them around anymore, but I remember seeing many when I was young, where I played golf there were many hopping around, and when driving from Perth to Melbourne and back, they were everywhere and many dead ones on the road.
If that near where you live? Is it safe to go closer to them to get a closer shot?

OoOoOOOo ... nicee...
i must try eating kangeroo some day ,,,
i heard the meat is really tough ...

nice photos tho ...
i wonder if my 300mm can get tha close.. i dont think so ...
need to get me a 2x teleconverter. ..

Not REALLY close to where I live but there is one kangaroo that litterally comes hopping down the main road (goes form the bush at the top to the one at the bottom and so fourth) =), I'll try to get some more when I have my camera with me and see some.

If you can't zoom in, try walking closer to see how close you can get (provided that it's safe to do so).
Shooting animals (for me anyway, since I've little experience) is unpredictable. The animals may run away at any time, or move suddenly.

I haven't shot a kangaroo with my camera before (hint: Peter let's go shoot kangaroos)

Did the kangaroos mind you taking pictures of them? lol, or did they try to run away?

Well about 15 seconds after the last shot they ran away, so I was kinda lucky

They ran away? That must've looked pretty funny. I've only ever seen 'roos hop from place to place!
