As some people will know, I was lucky enough to be able to take the step up to the 20D a wee while ago, but things conspired against me. So it's taken a while to be able to get some serious time behind it.
I went to Chester Zoo on good friday, the weather wasn't all i'd have wished for, and some of the animals were less than social and chose to stay indoors or just stay out of sight.
I went armed with 2 lenses, they being a 17-40 L and a 75-300 IS and 2.5 Gb of Cf space, Upon arrival I noticed that most of the enclosures now had yet another safety fence around them. This meant another 1.5m between me and the subject so the 17-40 was consigned to the bag for the day.
These images have had nothing other than a border and © and a resize, I may at somepoint go into photoshop and have a play with them. But I thought it would serve well to show what the detail is like straight from the card.
Comments would be welcomed, as I feel most of the images show the animal, but they don't really have an element of drama. Maybe thats because they aren't in the natural enviroment.
Taken at 300mm focused through the fencing.
These little Marmots are great fun to watch, they were about the only animal I could have got close enough to use the 17-40 on without getting all the messy fencing and suchlikes in the shot.
Californian sealion lapping up a break in the clouds.
I watched this little fellow for a while
The keepers hide sticky treats inside the length of hose to encourage the use of tools, he was sat there for a fair while poking his stick inside it and drawing out his prize.
When I saw these zebra I thought of one thing......BARCODE wonder what sort of price they'd be in the supermarket.
Hope you like the images.
