Wanted for questioning - still at large

Featured “The Woman Photographer” September 1009

Situated in the tree overhanging my balcony. The night prowler … from the Koala invasion series ... and this includes home invasion!!! Not break and enter as front door was open. I am calling the series … The Koala Caper
My belief is that this expression is one of smugness!! A “you dont know what I have been up to and got away with look”.
While this is a more formal shot, the remainder of shots in “The Koala Caper” are not!!!

Nikon D90 Nikkor Lens 18-105mm with flash
F/ 4.8
1/60 49.00 focal length
ISO 800 0.00 compensation
Matrix metering

    fantastic! looks so unconcerned about being unceremoniously evicted!

  • chijude replied

    Shameless … downright unrepentant!!
    Thanks Nadine … glad you enjoyed the fun of the Koala caper!!

    He really is rather cute—wish I had been there to see the fun.

  • chijude replied

    Fabulous shot Judy , what a little sweety he is ,looks a little more comfy in the tree than he did in the house !!

  • chijude replied

    I am going to call my series The Koala Caper. What do you think.?? Thanks so much for following up and for the favourite. That is special.
    However I almost had the feeling that he was going to ask me for a handtowel as he was about to leave the bathroom.!!

  • AndyGii

    AndyGii

    Fabulous although I think he is confused. That is not a gum tree

  • chijude replied

    As you know …. so true!!! Andy it was quite mind blowing!!! I didnt know whether to laugh or be serious and get “good shots” ... in the end I just went with “the event” I thought I would never be able to get him out!! It was literally like trying to herd a cat ,.. as he kept changing his mind as he got near the front door and turnng quite confidently back in towards me. I am still shaking my head in disbelief!! ( I always knew that tree would come in handy .. eventually.)

  • chijude replied

    ps I would have enough shots for a whole calendar if I was so inclined!!!!

  • Trudi's Images

    Trudi's Images

    haha ! that would have been funny watching him wipe his hands before he departed !! and thats a great name for the series he has certainly given you some wonderful moments !!

  • chijude replied

    .... as have the Bubblers who have followed his adventures. Thanks so much Trudi!

    What a gorgeous picture, perhaps he just wanted a cuddle LOL

  • chijude replied

    That did occur to me … howeve I was very wary of those claws. Up close you quickly decide that it may not be wise to be too personal!!! Thanks for checking each of the images out. I appreciate your interest and support!

    That really is a remarkable shot… probably the best I’ve seen of a koala.
