A few more Zoo shots

[moomike]

Hope I'm not boring anyone yet
Went to Chester Zoo again today with Steve (Pikeman ) & got a shot I've been after for a long time of Pele the black jaguar

Honest C&C welcome & appreciated as usual

1. Pele.

2. He said WHAT?!?

3. Spectacled Bear from my last visit.

4. Tiger - bit unusual

Cheers for looking

Nice shots Mike as I'd expect, but I'm struggling to see what mono adds to animal shots? The tiger leaps out in comparison to the others!

 

[moomike]

I agree about the tiger shot CT, I go through phases when I really enjoy just shooting b&w & I suppose I must just get a bit caught up in it

Here is the full colour Pele shot - it looks fine on one of my monitors (the calibrated one) but terribly compressed on the other so not sure if it'll look ok?
Cheers for the feedback btw

It looks fantastic here mate.

Gerra a grip will ya!

Colour works for me too.
That tiger is not to be sniffed at

Cheers Paul, I'll have to rework the others into colour now too

I love mono, but for me the colour works so much better in that shot and I reckon it would in the others too. I really love the shot of the Pele - its stunning.

Woah!!!! what a Tiger shot... that's awesome Mike.

I remember drawing a pic of a Tiger when I was a teenager, and I gave it to a girlfriend at the time. Wish I hadn't now... ho hum.

I think I like the colour images better Mike, but anyway up they are all excellent, especially the Cats.

Fantastic Tiger shot Mike, how do you get it so clear through the fence??

Cheers Steve, I'll be converting them all to colour to see how they look soon

Thanks mate, just shoot at your widest aperture & focus through the gaps in the mesh - get as close as possible & take the shot when there's some distance between you, your subject & the fence

Pele the black jaguar is one of the best animal shots you have taken imoan amazing shot as anybody that has been to Chester zoo knows that you are up against it with the enclosure with it's dirty glass and poor light.The colour photo for me as the green foliage makes it look very natural.
The tiger shot is a cracker as well well done Mike and thanks for a great day
