those are wonderful, you can almost feel like that are not enclosed in a habitat or cage.
I love the big kitty pictures. |
Splendid shots dogzilla. That second shot of the tiger is just the cat's meow......... :D
|
nice images, I hope you have a good printer and alot of wall space..I like the panda and the owl.

Its pictures like these taht make me want to run out and buy a good camera, and then learn how to make art like that. These are astounding.
The animals are beautiful too. Thanks for sharing! |
Thanks for the comments. The zoo has some exhibits where there are no fences to keep the animals in. The tiger and the gorilla were behind glass, so the trick was to find an angle where there were no reflections or get close to the glass. The cheetahs were begind a chain link fence and the owl and vulture were inside a wire cage. So the trick there was to set the lens aperture to f 2.8, get as close to the fence or cage and then zoom in to frame. With a long enough focal length, the depth of field is such that the fence/cage just blurs away as if it was invisible.
The camera gear I used was a Canon Digital Rebel with 70-200mm F2.8L lens. I shot at as low an iso as I could get and keep the shutter at at least 1/60 second. A couple pictures of a frog and lizard in a really dark room came out fairly clean even at iso 1600. |
Postcards each... Very nice... Thnx for the shooting tips too... ;-)

Artful work, and a real joy to see. I like the cheetas, the way they're facing different directions. The snow leopard looks like he's a little hot but maybe that's just my imagination.
