Nice shots.

The first shot of the "BIG" Tiger has a fly on it.
 
Awesome pictures! Nice herping for Melbourne, it took me years to tick all of those species off the list, and I haven't taken pictures anywhere near that nice of most of them. Nice work!

It took me years! Once I found a couple of good spots it became easy though. I have still never seen one right inside 'Melbourne', but the closest I've seen them is pretty close (on the Mornington Peninsula, probably around where you saw some of your stuff).

I still haven't found as many as I'd like. I could go to Tasmania and find piles of them, but that seems a bit like cheating :lol:
 
Nick !!! I sit here shaking my head in wonder whenever i see your pics, and the realization that you are only 16 makes me feel very inadequate in comparison, you have subject placement, depth of field, use of light and lense choice down to the level a proffessional shutterbug would be pleased with, i just hope that all the distractions that will follow in your late teens i.e girls, cars and alcohol will not make you put down the camera, I can see a huge future for you and your camera just as my Father seen a future for Jason Edwards when he was 17. I hope you are putting together a portfolio of your best work because IMHO you are going to be up there with the best, you know how good you are and so does everyone here, it would be criminal for you to lose interest in this field. :) .............................Ron

Thank you Ron, greatly appreciated :) ..
the only thing that'll distract me from herping is richmond winning a grand final ! .. but that wont happen anytime soon so i should be safe!
