I dont think this came out to bad considering I was taking it about 4ft back from a chain link fence

I apologise if the quality is not very good as I saved them at a lower quality so I could upload them quicker otherwise it takes hours:)

There's some really great shots there. I especially like the snow leopard and the ostrich.

I'm guessing the 70-200 got another workout:)

How many pic's did you manage to take?

mmm I dont know at the Zoo probably about 30/40 not many in the sceme of things got a few of the elephants couple more of the monkeys and yes I love the 70-200 :).....i'm hoping my 14-24 is not that far away once I put new wheels and tyres on the car..I will be saving for that so hoping a couple of months saving and we should be right

here is another one I like this one as she is looking directly at the camera but I put the other one in because i felt it had a bit more meaning behind it
