shots from Today Chester zoo and garden

[LCPete]

Hi everyone I had a great day at the Zoo with moomike
It was great to meet you.

Ist two 40D and 100-400L
Here's some sort of Pig cant remember what

Love the expression on her face, not 100% happy with this shot though the grey wire spoils it a bit

When I got home and looking through the photos from the zoo I noticed the sparrows were active in the garden grabbed the 350D with 70-200. Really pleased with this shot. It was getting dark got him full frame at 172mm I was lucky to get it reasonably sharp at a speed of 40 at 6.3

I like #3
looks like you had 2 seconds to catch him before he was off!

Number 3 for me as well and as you said, the wire does spoil number 2

Thanks Mike I only got 2 shots of him then he was gone

thanks taxi I should have used a larger apeture to blur the wire more, the 100-400 is not as sharp at 5.6 tho . Next time I will bring the 70-200, F4 would have sorted the wire out

Great shots, I think #1 is 'Warty' pig, last time I was at the zoo something had been chewing on his ears and I had to call the warden only noticed while walking around reviewing my shots, they were proper bleeding aswell bless him.
