The sun was slowly setting when I came across this troop of kangaroos (also known as a mob or a court) in northern Tasmania. I liked in this shot that I was able to capture the main room in profile, two looking forward, one hopping and even a joey in a pouch — a lot to take in without any detail in any of the faces. These are eastern grey kangaroos, known locally as foresters. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 330mm) ISO 400, f/16 at 1/2000th of a second.

Awesome!
Thanks Sue. It was one of my more memorable afternoons being alone in a giant field with all these kangaroos.
Its one of those shots that you need to take a double take.
Yes, lots going on.
If you don’t show the details on their faces how can I tell if they’re really kangaroos?
Good point Louis. This is where trust comes in.
