I'm doing a bit of photo file housekeeping. I came across some photos I took at the zoo in May. I used the k10d and f*300. It was an overcast dull day so lighting isn't great. But I really enjoy the way this lens performs.




Focusing between the cage wires is tricky, but sometimes I get it right.

Good stuff, the last two are a lot of fun

I do have a lot of fun at the zoo taking pictures. I've been going through my archives from last year and found quite a few gems that I hadn't pp. I've also been deleting a lot. No sense me keeping so many images I've decided.

Very nice series LaRee - the last shot made me laugh - almost a wildlife version of a mullet... remember those?
Cheers,
Marc

It does look like it's sporting a mullet. lol Thanks for taking a look and commenting Marc.

La Ree,

Great images captured, crisp, sharp and nice OOF.

That F*300 is really a gem. I love that lens!

Gimme more o' that hog! Love it, it's almost human. In fact, there's a kid down the road....
Fabulous shots. That's some lens. (Now how can I stump up the moolah for one? Maybe if I flog my body down Hindley Street one night).

Great art, great photography, great skill.

Thank you for your kind words. As I said above, I'm going through many shoots that I hadn't addressed yet and finding some cool surprises. I'm vowing to do better in at least cleaning out my shots as I take them. I've a huge backlog from last year and this year is already half over. I must do better!

They're all fantastic. The polar bear is my fav.
