Some shots from the Alice Wetlands

Not sure what the image size requirements are but I will see if I can embed thumbnails to link to my flickr photos. I have taken these over the course of this year at the Alice Springs wetlands area.

Oh boy that didn't work, why is there no edit facility on the forum?

Okay I will just post up the smallest image from Flickr and supply the large link for those that want to see the best presentation of the image:

That will do for this thread, I hope you enjoy the images.

Thanks wottie, the first image was taken using a Canon 5DMk2. The remaining shots were taken with a Canon 40D. All the shots were taken using a Canon 300mm f2.8 with a Canon 1.4X teleconverter.

Thanks everyone for the comments, I appreciate the feedback. I will be away for the next couple of weeks on vacation with my wife and kids. Hope you all have a very merry Xmas and a happy new year. We will be driving from Alice to Tanilba Bay in NSW then down to Huskisson on the south coast of NSW then back to Alice.

Cheers

Hi Mav, nice shots mav, are you from Alice Springs are you. I lived up there in 1985 for 3 years and loved it.

Cheers

Yes John I have lived here full time since 1990 but I first moved here with my folks in 1976. I joined the Navy in 1979 but kept coming back on leave up until the time I moved here with my wife in 1990.

Cheers
