Ooh, that is a lovely couple of shots Pete and really tempts me to take a trip up tomorrow. Was it busy today?
They look great I think the second one just edges it for me due to the eye contact (though I like the little bit of extra space on the LHS on the first one).
I'm struggling to get there at the moment but want to catch these cubs before they grow up too much.
A great couple of shots Pete, it's good to see the cubs growing nicely and their stripes gaining definition. Nice sharp shots from the 7D2 - hope you enjoy it.
Chris
Thanks very muchgreat shots
Oh Wow Pete they are starting to look grown up now aren't they, beautiful captures
I was hoping to get up this week but once again something has cropped up mid week, not grumbling about though
Pete, that second shot especially is a blinder, though they're both lovely.
it's definitely worth getting up here to see them they are quite active now
Definitely worth trying to see them before they are moved to the new enclosur
Well I was hoping that I might have got up there this week, but an invite for a one off photoshoot came up for Thursday and
stopped that yet again
You'll just have to keep the pictures coming, you're doing a great job
Couple of cracking shots there Pete, the 2nd one with the eye contact is excellent but I also like the first, with the look in its eyes as if its just seen dinner
Great shots, such adorable animals and well captured. I went on Friday and the only thing I missed out on that I wanted to see were the Tigers, the big one was lying down and looking away from the nearby vantage point and the cubs were hiding, it was very Sunny and quite hot so I don't know if that was why. It was at the end of the day and we were in a rush to see the Lions and Tigers - luckily I managed to get some shots and spend time at the Lion enclosure but I was so wrapped about getting those shots I totally forgot to go back and see if the Tigers were in better view!
Ah well, everything else was great.
They look so cute now, would be great to be able to see them through the next months and years to watch then change into adults.
Pete, I noticed you have just jumped up from a 550D to a 7Dmk2....? Do you notice a big difference between the image quality from both cameras already? Your photos of the cubs look more natural or something/ sharper than my 700D and the pictures I took on Friday... I'm not sure how much of that is because of skill / difference in body / lens?
I was shooting with my Canon 55-250 STM Lens, which to be fair is my first time with a telephoto lens and bought the day before, and first time shooting animals on the Friday! But I'd be interested to know if I am doing something wrong, as you've had a 550D (which I guess is similar to my 700D) and now have a 7D maybe you could point me in the right direction if I could get sharper / better results ? Would be much appreciated.

Nicely done Pete
I stitched a couple of shots a while ago, but made him/her a bit stumpy
