Iron Range NP

[XKiller]

Here are some pictures i took from the Iron Range NP, and the travel up 8 days total... being Winter it would be the best time to do a herping trip lol, spending only a handfull of days in the NP its self the drive up was just as exciting, well once you get out of ****ty weather SEQLD, i decided not to upload habitat shots and landmarks or Info on every animal to this thread, main reasion is it would take to much time to look through every photo i took, heres a few i flicked through this afternoon.

[GeckPhotographer]

Nice pics, I think Stephen's are better though. No offense.

 

[Sock Puppet]

Great pics Shane. Great range of species you found!

but what's a beakery?

Obviously it's where beaked animals hang out, like cassowaries.

 

[XKiller]

Yeah it makes life alot easyer..... but your never going to get of your high horse about that 1st green, even know i found the second one... are you's!. And yes i do 100% aggree Stephens pictures are better than mine, but i had spent as much on my camera gear as him i would have a decent chance at being on par.. giveing the fact i dident have proper lighting nor used anything but a 18-55mm lense makes it hard to get photos to be proud of, + these are photo's i choose to put on APS do you rely think i'd put my best photos on a public fourm....
Bullshite was way cooler anyway.

Ps. i wasn't sleeping.

Herping is pretty easy when you just lay in your tent and sleep while we find things for you to take pictures of hay?
