For those who haven't been to the Big Cat place and are thinking of going/pondering what kit to take.....

A snap, no artistic merit implied or given :D

This is how far you are away from the subjects ;)

Of course care must be taken to protect the animals, so photographers are kept in cages surrounded by electrified fences :D

As I'm a touch bored I thought I'd add a few other creatures, I've not bothered to do any processing so :razz:

(anybody wants their gruesome visage removed just PM me with gruesome in the subject ;))

The postman has just been and delivered prints of some of my pictures taken the other day and I am delighted with them - sadly my husband has refused to let me use them to paper the hall . I took advantage of Photobox's two for one poster deal
