I think I took as many photos at night in Tasmania as I did during the day. So much life comes out as soon as the sun goes down. One of those species is the brushtail possum. This mother and her joey posed for a few portraits before moving on into the forest. Using two flash units off camera and to the side, allowed me to capture the possums without any eyeshine.

That is sweet!
Thanks Sue. I do love capturing the mother and offspring shots.
So cute
Thanks Mom.
Great Lighting!
Thanks Clark. I was carrying my flash around on a tripod so was able to quickly set it down, move away from it, and get a few shots.
So the kid’s name is Joey and the mother’s name is Mother?
That is correct, Louis.
So cute, reminds me of the tarsiers!
A little bit, I can see that.
Good one for next Mother’s Day!
Nothing like the mother and baby shots.
Great work to get this shot! Perfect lighting!!
