Official Chester Zoo thread !

Well glad you did decide to post a couple of photos DF, they are great, love the otters expression :) Even the keepers were shocked at the sizes of the lens on show.

Some good shots everyone, come on the rest of you I want to see more.
 
Well I did take some photos of the animals as well as everything else, so here is one for you.

Another day past by us and still someone hasn't posted any images :cautious:

and to think I was the butt of the jokes about not posting......:D
 
OOOh! I wonder who that can be DF? :cautious:

Anyway, good to see YOU remembered what to do with your camera this time ... some cute shots too! :)

Also tickled by Matt's 'praying otter' & Ian's very serious-looking Orangutan :LOL:
 
Come on Mr Charlton Show us some pics :)

Alan
 
The otter on the right is telling his m8 that he's just nicked Matt Charlton's CF card to prevent him from posting images. :LOL:

Its the only one I've had chance to process out of maybe 5 shots total that look any good. I'll have a look at them in a moment and try and get some more together.

I've been busy playing Bioshock and I had to work yesterday and today (today is supposed to be a BH for me too) so I'm tired. I need a holiday ;(
 
Another from me.

And I have just realised I could have used my Tiger shot for the comp this month. :bonk::wacky: Silly me.
 
Nice shots Matt m8 those bloody Red Pandas are a right pain to get a decent shot of

Alan
 
Thats a cracking shot of the owl sue i like it a lot

Alan
 
I like the natural background to the tiger.

For some reason I really struggled to get the fence to go when I was trying to get tiger shots, guess it was cos it was so close to the fence.

Some really good shots one here. Well done one and all.
 
Nicely exposed Red Panda Matt C, and you've managed to get it nearly on the ground.
I've just got fluff balls in the tree.

Pity about the fence on the tiger shot.
If the crop was from the left, add a bit more in.
 
Thanks Matt, much appreciated :)

The fence was a pita, couldn't get rid of it from any angle I could try and there were people everywhere.

This is the original.

Couldn't decide whether to crop it or not. The more I look at the original, the more I like it.
 
Oooo I don't know how I missed this one originally.
There are some great shots there! But my favorites have to be :

Great otter & Orangutan Ian (y)

Alan I love the way you captured the site staff meeting Oh wait a minute I can see what it now :LOL:
Great Chimps! but it looks like that marmot is about to puke :D
 
What an impressive collection of pics. I suppose it's a combination of expert photographers and quality equipment.
 
Sorry for not posting until now, I've been staying at my girlfriends house and NO internet connection. I'm off work at the moment with a stomach bug, can't work out if it was dodgy food at the wedding reception I went to Saturday night....or a dodgy hot dog at the zoo :) Anyway it was great to meet everyone, it wasn't the best day for me photographically.... most of my shots were crap, still what's new :LOL:

Tut! I cant believe this is the only group shot!

I didnt bring the thread down to this level lol i didnt post it originally, think by the look of the 1DS MK2 and Sigma 800 that would be Matt on the left lol

Well i couldnt easily take group shots with the 600 ;)
 
I don't think there were any group shots

My butt was positioned over to the right of the main group when the shutter tripped for that shot.
 
this was taken early on while waiting for site staff.
