Paddling back down the channel in my canoe this Eastern Grey Kangaroo entered the water and then swam across the channel in front of me.

Wow...what terrific luck and what great reflexes you had to NOT have missed this golden moment! Was this moonlight?

  Thanks Michelle this too was an older capture and I took it in the early morning sun which was backlighting the roo.It all happened pretty quickly and I keep the camera under a towel between my legs when paddling just in case something like this happens.

  This is a phenomenal capture with stunning back-lighting and what a feel of movement, Brett. FAVED. I am certain we will see it in the Golden pool next month. Good luck!

  OUTSTANDING SHOT !!!
I'd be a bit leery about having the camera in a Canoe.
Did take a P&S w/me once & wished I'd had the SLR
This shot may force my hand.

Happy Shooting
Jack

  What wonderfully quick reflexes you have to capture a stunning moment like this, Brett!! WOW - I just love *everything* about this image, my friend!! :o)

Phil and I trust that you and yours enjoyed a relaxing weekend - we had to contend with very warm and sticky weather conditions for working outside!! :o/

  This is brilliant Brett and the lighting is fantastic. I sometimes wish I had a canoe so I could get a bit closer to some of my bird life.
