(Test) post your photos for March. Images should display thumbnails that link to full-size images to allow threads to load more efficiently...

Here's a fluffy Pink Robin Petroica rodinogaster that kept me company in the Otways recently. He perched on low branches and rocks seeking out insects, often flying up into the air to collect those tasty morsels.

The Otways is a good place for waterfalls - here's Hopetoun Falls:

Whilst in the Otways I also saw some fungus (Coprinellus sp).

They're pending approval Binjy.

Until a Mod changes their status no one can see them.

The links will work as links, the images don't display in the post until checked for size. Images are currently uploaded as attachments due to space restrictions. Uploaded images are stored on this server. Linked images from flickr, for example, will display and are post-moderated but uploaded images are pre-moderated to ensure they aren't too big.

images are pre-moderated

Ok, so maybe its better for me to show the thumbnails on my server straight out...

Here's the carnivorous Otway Black Snail Victaphanta compacta.

The approval process is apparently a short term thing for long term members.

As I understand it, eventually it'll be new members who'll need approval. The rest of us should already know what is and isn't appropriate.






There you go. I didn't quite have it right.

Love the edit feature

I have clicked on the "approve attachments" for your posts so hope that means they are ok to view now ... (yes, I checked them for "suitability" first!)
I thought that would mean that they'd come up in the htread but they don't seem to have done.
Still learning, but that's OK.

I had troubles using the "Insert Image" function when trying to link to that last image. I kept getting an error message about "unable to write to temporary file" until I unchecked the box underneath the URL I linked to.

To do really good stuff with cameras despite knowledge talent and eye or sense of impact.. You need to be able to set image situations up. This requires expensive equipment and a devotion to the perfect image.

chocolate box shot.. my wife used to say whenever one of those came up in a slide show. Watching people and their reactions whilst viewing a slide show of my selection I could tell that the human interest angle is more important than the perfect image. When I first showed a slide show to my remnant schoolfriend peers after we left school, I was told.. "Look don't get me wrong, you take very good photos of birds and bees and flowers.. but where are the people in it?"

Here's some fungus:

Favolaschia calocera is a bright orange fungus that looks quite good but unfortunately is an invader from overseas. First identified in Australia in 2005 its now common in the Dandenongs.


Hericium coralloides is found through much of the world and apparently has some medicinal qualities - I just like the look of them. I found a colony on a dead tree last year and yesterday I revisited to see how they were coming along this year - graced with amber drops.


These Mycena viscidocruenta were growing on one side of a rotting stick where interesting the other side had fruiting bodies of Favolaschia calocera. I deliberately focused on the cute lil one.


These Steccherinum sp can easily be overlooked in passing as just a blotch of pale fungus but then you'd miss seeing the cool forest of icicles you can see close-up.


Only a little bit of fungus out so far but I hope to encounter more this weekend in east Gippsland.
