    Echidna

    Now I will tell you the truth it isn't the best shot and I will also tell you this is down to me rushing. Which I am known to do, but I do have a story behind this to.
    Since I have had a camera I have wanted to get a shot of an Echidna in the wild. I never thought it would happen and then today after a very long walk as the road to where I wanted to be was just one mud puddle. I tried a shot distance but had to turn around or I would not have got out.
    I parked close to the road and walked the 2 kilometers in to where I wanted to be and the Peregrine's were not there, So I had to walk back out.
    The way up infront of me and a little too far for my lens I seen my dream upfront of me..
    Taking shots as I went along and walking where I walked or I would of slipped.
    The the little bugger decided to go down the other side of the Levey Back (Sorry about spelling) and I made my way there as quick as I could.
    SO I was out of breath and really sore and this makes me rush my shot and when I do this I move the camera as I take the shot.
    So I know what I am doing wrong but this does happen time to time. So lets hope next time I see one I would be is such a rush.
    But I am still more than happy with the shots I got and I have only got one ready to post and this is it

    Just missed. Have to find him again.
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

        Phil I am sorry to hear what you have said as it does make easy things so much harder than many could ever imaging. So all the best mate and I hope it gets better for ya.

      Shame about the image quality Ralph, but in saying that I've probably got more out-of-focus shots than anybody
      If you have Faststone, just give it a sharpen (40%) and it makes all the difference.

      My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.

        I will go and have a look for it but I am hoping that for Father day I will be able to get the De-Noise Program and buy it outright as I don't like paying out on those things. But I will look into what you have said and thank you for the heads up on it.

        No worries Ralph. Faststone Image Viewer is great and I use it every day for viewing, culling and editing. It's a FREE program and very powerful.
        Here's the download link:

        Here's just one of many tutorials:

      At least you got a shot Ralph. The only time I've seen an echidna with a camera in hand, it was rapidly disappearing into the under growth and I got just a few spines visible.

        This has been lets say a 4 year program and I was hit by shock and then I dropped the ball so someone missed out on a Hat Trick.
        This is putting pressure on myself for no reason but I still do it and I and happy with what I got. Actually more than happy but at the same time
        disappointed with myself for letting it get to me. But I think this is a human thing, but letting pressure get to us when there really is none there.
