Earlier this evening, Barry asked if I want to go and see some Kangaroos in the wild… Oh YES! So we grabbed all our gear real quick and packed it all in the 4×4. A few minutes later, we drove out and we were soon into the country side. We came across some Kangaroos and Barry put on the 400mm F2.8 lens on my camera! Wow!!! This is one hell of an amazing lens!! Some images below.
One of my first shots with a 400mm lens. I went for a silhouette style of image.
I think the Kangaroos were looking at Barry put on a 300mm lens on his camera.
There were fields where there were loads of Kangaroos… but they were a bit too far away to make a good picture.
The next plan was to get Melbourne in the distance… We stopped at a good vantage point and we had a great sunset to photograph! Some images below.
Some of the suburbs of Melbourne in the distance. Taken on the 400mm lens. On my camera body, this lens becomes a 640mm lens 🙂
The shot I was after with the 400mm lens... F2.8, 1/640 sec, ISO 200.
I had so many shots to chose from... I settled on this one because of the dramatic clouds.

My take of the sunset...
Can you see the aircraft flying into the sunset after having just taken off from the Melbourne airport.
