Image in Photo?

Is there anything interesting in this photo?

Location: Taree

Event: Loud Bipedal footsteps briefly heard in a gully with thick forest on a property with a History of encounters. Footsteps walked, then jumped off a bank close to the tree line. Photographer takes random shot in the direction of creature unknown.

Too undefined to tell and could be anything. Doesn't look like much.

If there is anyone with photo enhancement skills that can shed any light on the dark image in the centre of the photo, we would like to see the result, even if it is merely leaves and a shadow. I would like to inform the person who had taken the picture.

Hi Dean here are so many artefacts that result from digital noise that it's easy to find a face in the trees. When you tweak its contast it looks like a small boy with a big head, eyes and ears but probably isn't. He even has a boyish chest. Automatic focus is most likely the culprit. I don't doubt they heard something but i don't think it's captured in the photo.

"loud bipedal footsteps heard...."
Please dont shoot me down ..BUT
I have been outdoors quite a bit. The sound of a small wallaby taking fright sounds like a scared person running. I have had footsteps come right up to a campsite, which turns out to be a roo.
The size of the roo/wallaby, combined with the fear in the animal, has a differing speed of its (bipedal sounding?) steps
When ever I read that a witness had heard "bipedal" footsteps, I recall those I have seen AND heard.
I am still waiting to see the Bipedal one though.

I took this still from a video clip I shot in the Blue Mountains. I was convinced I had something with a conical head and a heavy brow, it even blinked in the clip. It turned out to be a tree as well as other foliage in the foreground.... Groan... One day

I have heard of a lot of reports from this area now and there have been similar descriptions given relating to a seemingly stalking behaviour exhibited. In fact, it reminds me of a weird encounter I had in the area in 2007. I definitely heard bipedal steps, and I am convinced it was not a conventional animal.... Whatever it was sounded absolutely huge.... then it proceeded to follow me (in what seemed like a cat and mouse fashion) around the camp site paralleling my movements through the scrub over a 20-30 minute time period. It again approached within 15 metres of my position - 200 metres away from my original experience!!!

I too have spent a lot of time in the bush, heard many a roo as well, along with a variety of other animals. In fact probably the biggest false alarms and/or scares I`ve received have been from livestock rather then native animals... I am convinced what I experienced was definitely something unconventional..... That is unless roos have added patient stalking of humans to their repitoire of skills :shock: then I will remain convinced that what I heard that day was no roo!!!

In regards to this photo its too hard to say yay or nay, although I think an open mind should be kept..... I cannot clearly identify a humanoid shape, neither can I identify a conventional creature like a roo! Hence, this will go into my unknown (grey basket) file (and a big file it is :lol: ).... As far as I`m concerned NO ONE (I say again, NO ONE) knows enough about the true nature/reality of these creatures to be casually dismissing possible evidence. If it is unclear it should remain unknown until it can be proven outright positive or negative!
Rules of debunking
Any conventional explanation is better than none.
Don`t bother me with the facts my mind is made up.
If one can`t attack the data, attack the people, it is easier!
Do one`s research by proclamation; investigation is too much trouble.

I'll just say from looking at that photo I can "see" several things at first glance; 2 humanoid shapes plus several "faces". I only just got the internet back so soon as i've set all my stuff up again i'll work the image over for you.
..people don't tend to notice him standing there in the last frames..

The harder you look for something the more you will see. The brain is conditioned to recognise patterns, even when they do not actually exist. What is a face from one angle, or a vauge shape will disapear when veiwed from another. .
Not to say that there isnt anything in this image, but I personally cant spot anything unusual that could be identified
