Animal Portraits

Lovely set G.
I like the chimp and the Bw zebra looks VG.
Not quite sure if I'd have liked the leg showing a little more and a tad less in front.

Yup, I'm slowly getting used to it. The 500/4 is my workhorse, but the 300 is lighter smaller and also an excellent lens. The shots on my Donna Nook thread were all taken with 300/2.8 and 1.4x as the 500 is too long to fit in a bag with a body attached and I didn't want to carry the lens and tripod for a mile over wet sand on my shoulder.

If I really want reach and top quality, I still take the 500 but the 300 is getting used a lot more for general stuff and I will handhold it a little sometimes as well.

Gary mate I think you need to ditch that D3 of yours and get yourself a one of these bad boys! I bet then you would actually get some nice shots :D

Take your pick

Guess away :D And nope, wrong :D

Its probably not suited for Zoo shots, but I will try damn hard :D Its a great low lighter....;)
 
Super set Gary, Snuggle in the Dark is the stand out shot for me as the lighting is just so fitting the description and the look of caring on the adults face says it all.
