Title: Koala up a tree
Post by: shadowblade on November 15, 2020, 03:51:36 pm

Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) with joey at Kennett River, Victoria, Australia.

Sony A9 with 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G and Godox AD200pro with Magbeam for fill flash.  600mm at f/6.3, 1/320, ISO 640.

They are very cute animals!

There seems to be a greenish tinge to the lowermost part of his fur. I assume it's from foliage. It should be easy to fix.

 What a cute creature, I've always wanted to be able to hold one like you see visiting celebrities do in Australia sometimes, but I don't think it's going to happen. Oh well :)

She looks rather sleepy;  my girlfriend would say- don't make a photo now!

They may be cute but they are not cuddly and friendly. In the animal parks in Australia where these photos take place, the handler is usually feeding it from the other side so it doesn't claw the tourist.
