Colchester Zoo - Big Cat Shoot

[Tysonator]

Hi,

No cats were harmed in the Big Cat Shoot !!

so edited images from my day with a guided small group around Colchester Zoo. The guide was a pro photographer to advise us on photographing the Big Cats.
What I found was very beneficial was the guide new what time of day to get to various enclosures.


Please feel free to leave any tips, advice, comments and critiques

Great set.
Love #5

Nice, number 2 is lovely.

7+8 made me chuckle, I think he's bragging about how big the fish was, then flexing his muscles as if to say, 'it was a struggle but I landed it'.

I love No6 as he has either just sneezed or is yawning !
I have visited Colchester Zoo quite a few times and on this occasion Lemurs were sunbathing as it was early morning and I have never seen them or the Meerkats do that !

Good work on the Leopard shots - particularly the first. I know from experience that enclosure is not easy!

Thank you,
Shooting through glass creates a number of problems and I was lucky to get some food images.
