Chester Zoo Selection

[smr]

Hi all,

Recently bought myself a Telephoto Lens (Canon 55-250 STM) which I duly received on Thursday and went to shoot animals for the first time the following day at Chester Zoo. Here's a selection of photos from the day...

Really nice set Joel.
The lizard shot really pops!
Love the funky colours bird too. It's a shame about the BG, but hey, it's a zoo
I'd also be tempted to clone out the few blades of grass right in front of the Jaquar's (?) face, andy maybe a little covert cloning on the fence in that one too

Thanks Ruth,

Will have a look at that.

Agree with Ruth very nice shots
you did well getting a shot of the Jaguar they are very shy and don't pose very often definitely worth cropping the shot a bit and cloning out the grass
its worth watching the Lions for a while until they look at you, it makes all the difference
sometimes they just wander off tho and don't cooperate
