Title: Marwell
Post by: Binary Shadow on October 25, 2009, 00:03:12 AM
Zoo

Bit of a challenge, went for the day thurday. shooting through fences and glass isnt great but did the best i could. Took Canon 450D with sigma 70-200 F2.8, i think i should have used the canon 55-250 IS lens but the F2.8 from the sigma may have helped me out tbh

Marwell is cool. Do they still put the tigers next door to the gazelle?

You should go to longleat if you want animal pics.

Cheers, quite happy with a lot of the shots, tried to use a shallow DoF to blur fences and had the lens hood against the glass to reduce reflections.

I loved the small cats, id love one as a pet but i seriously doubt itd be tame.

I plan to go to longleet sometime as i think itd be great, id like to go somewhere with lions and white tigers.
