Little River Falls at Snow River National Park

This lens has been "misused" to take a long exposure shot on a tripod. Hehe. This would make a lot of Olympus user hating my guts for using a fast glass on a long exposure shot.

To be honest, I hiked a long long distance to reach this Australian Version of "Grand Canyon". The waterfalls dissappears in Summer time as the water flow ceases in the creek.

However, the shot was taken at the end of winter wet months. I had the luck to capture this in sight!

Again, long exposure time on ZD 150mm f2 would require 2 stop underexposure to avoid complete white out of the water flow. No neutral density is used as I could not really afford 82mm filter just for this purpose...

Protest for poverty

This gentleman spoke of good English and protested against the poverty which was so prevalent around the world.

Somehow he was escorted by policemen to one side eventually. He was a peaceful man and showing very nice attitude towards photographer!

You can see his facial details very clear here with good tone rendering there. I find ZD 150mm f2 great for B+W photographs. Very punchy B+W stuff when the coloured version seems a little too muted colour.

Roos in Country Victoria of Australia

In Hall's Gap, there were quite a few of them staring at us. Joel and I had picked one of the worst weathers in the whole year to do this trip.
This fellow has a lot of fascination towards us. Not begging for food. Just constantly hopping around in a circle and turning its head towards us.
The rain was easing to a degree and I took this baby lens of mine to snap a shot or two on this wild animal. On Olympus E520 body, the autofocus is continuously hunting with inability to lock the focus due to so many annoying branches and leaves. In the end, I settle on pressing the pre-focus buttons on the Oly 150mm f2 to get my focus right. Sigh... Modern technology is sometimes not as good as manual focus at all.
That evening, we had kangaroo meat for dinner. Low fat and low cholesterol. A little too gamy due to lack of seasoning...

Galah - naughty little thing

This fellow has been tailgating me for quite some time. I got no food but malice towards birds that constantly tried to drop pooh on me. In my culture, it is considered good luck when I am in good mood; not so good luck when I am in bad mood. So this bird is not really welcome today.

As soon as My olympus 150mm f2 is taken out of the bag and this bird seemed a little frightened that this was not food! I wished this lens was a rocket launcher to shoot the bird. Somehow, Olympus 150mm f2 locks its focus on the bird reasonably well. A little slow to track this bird though and I pressed the pre-focusing stopper button to lock the focus. So here it is. A mug shot of this criminal that contributed to negative symptoms of bi-polar traits.

The blurr was not so bad either. Trust me, I am not really a birder person.
