Heya! All is good, thank you How are things with you? Seen any cute, fluffy animals recently?

Thank you, I've talked myself in and out of the FZ1000 multiple times over the past few days. One of my issues is battery life. Reviews say the battery life is ~350 shots. @danbroad do you think this is accurate? That seems a bit low to me but I've had a DSLR for years now so maybe not.

Thank you guys. I was looking at the FZ82 so that's an option. The FZ1000 would be good but just spent £500 on a joint photo day at Big Cat Sanctuary next year That Canon looks decent too so Cobra so will check out the new one.

The right of the background is a little busy and I'd prefer less negative space on the left. The lighting and focus is great though!

Thank you, Liz. I really appreciate that. I haven't gotten around to editing this one yet but I thought the expression was pretty funny :)

I had a photoshoot with 3 awesome dogs last Wednesday. This was definitely one of my favourite shoots and these are some of my favourite shots: Misty 5 web by Selena Chambers, on Flickr 8 web by Selena Chambers, on Flickr 1 web by Selena Chambers, on Flickr Foggy 7 web by Selena Chambers, on...

I agree, 1 is out of focus. 4 and 6 are great though!

Very cute! That first shot is a cracker :)

I also object to 'meet the cubs' type experiences, especially when they involve actually handling the animals. I know I've said this many times but RSCC is totally different to other zoos. Probably due to its size, it doesn't attract many visitors and most of them are quiet and respectful of...

Don't blame me :P They're adorable though!

Nice eye contact :) especially the lion! Those are some huge paws!!
