Some monkey business and a nice ass

Decided to treat my girlfriend to a nice day out and took our friends daughter Ellen as well, we went to Marwell Zoo.

An excuse to try out my cheapo zoom -Sigma 70-300 apo dg, method in my madness as she wont often venture out with me if i have my camera in tow!

My plan backfired as i ended up carrying ellen most of the way round so i didnt get to take many photos. But heres a few i did manage.

Cheers for looking.

Really nice shots.
The second image colour is really nice & the sharpness of the asses (sounds a bit wierd but I can't think of any other way of phrasing it) - you definately did that lens proud. :)

Indeed, I have that lens, as does Matty...and to pull off a shot like that @ 1/320 @ 300mm and only f6.3 Deserves a round of applause :clap:

(Unless you tell us they were plastic and the lens was tripod mounted :p)

Seriously...What sort of sharpening have you done to them? I ask is because mine gives me quite disappointing results, especially at 300mm and below f7.1 (I won't even go into my inability to stay still at 1/focal length....lol)
 
Now that is a nice Ass !

First monkey is a bit woolly ... through glass ?

Second is really good with great colouration and it is crisp.

And for a zoo shot the leopard (?) is pretty good too !

But the Ass takes the biscuit ! And normally anything else it can get its teeth into !
 
thank for your comments guys

Marcel you probably wont believe this but the only tweek i've done on the No. 3 (the asses) is a tweek with contrast and brightness and no tripod

No they were actually not enclosed, i think both monkey shots were taken with them sat on a fence and me about a metre or so away.
The leopard was through glass and have clone stamped a few smears on the glass out

I read some posts that some copies of this lens can be very good good above 200mm so i think i must be one of the lucky ones, not bad for £120 from Onestop.
 
Some nice pics there.
