Having booked a few days off work, I decided to go on a photography day at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation in Kent. A long drive from Cheshire, but well worth it.
Extremely helpful staff and amazing animals. Being so close to some of the huge lions and tigers makes your hairs stand on end! (y)

Just few from the day.

C&C more than welcome.

Hi Gareth,

great set. I had the opportunity to go there and it's a wonderful set up. Shame about the sad news recently though :(

Love #3. I have a similar shot from Bristol zoo and yours looks even more regal. I love the way theyir nostrils make a little love heart from the side!

Hi Gareth,

Excellent set, love how sharp the eyes are and the DOF.
 
Really nice set I like the first one, I went a couple of years ago and had a great day

What news was that?
 
Fab set. Number 1 is my favourite with the Lion coming in a close second.

I had a play around with the levels to darken the image, masked the lion out and tweaked it here and there with the burn tool. It needs doing properly as there are a few light places here and there that need tidying up.

Your shots are corkers...I'm green with envy :)

Thanks Ruth. You should definitely book in this place for a day with the camera, especially living so close. I'd go again, but it's a 4 hour drive from mine and with petrol costs these days it's an expensive day out. :(

I went a couple of years ago with some forum members, and had a great time, but its a long way for me in Newcastle, but well worth the trip, amazing to get so close.

And again, great set of images

Thanks Carl. It's definitely worth a visit, even if you're not taking photos. I found myself just looking at the animals some of the time in awe as you can't really get much closer. (y)
