Ok, Ok, yes another one from the zoo, sorry guys
-
Well i thought i would post one more from the zoo today
These are such amazing creatures would quite happily sit there all day watching them. And it the best place i gonna get to see them, no way the missus gonna let me go off on a photography safari
They are indeed some nice shots…but just for me it raises issues, but that’s a personal thing. Now i just need to find a zoo with models walking around enclosed…lol
I think the Dublin Zoo Lions are Barbary Lions. We can thank the Romans for their near extinction. The Zoos in UK and Ireland are doing a great job in breeding them. I don’t know if they’ll ever be released to the wild (Lions can be released unlike some cats) but the problem is there might not be territory for them. Believe it or not, Lion numbers are decreasing in a big way. Some of the national parks in Kenya are either without or nearly without Lions because of human predation.
I must agree i would like to see them in the wild rather than some enclosure
But for me, its the closest I am gonna get to photographing these creatures in the near future, so for that i am greatful
My mind was swayed about zoos after watching a program about a small zoo somewhere in florida. the people that run it have had to evecuate it numerous times because of hurricaines.
The people who run it care so much for these animals, most of which have come to them from injury or stupid people trying to have them as pets. The zoo keepers actually care so much that when there is a hurricaine they actually all go to the zoo managers house with all the animals without sleep etc to keep them safe.
in a very ideal world all of these animals would be fruitfull in their own natural envioroment but hey zoo exist and most of them do a great job.
So i am quite happy to pay my annual membership etc to help keep these things going
Nice shot Steve, you sure that lighting was from today :shock: Getting more and more jealous by the hour. :(
yea john
all the money in the world and the Met office cant even tell the weather, he he
it was good till lunchtime then it threw it down
only stayed for couple of hours as i hadnt planned to be there after the weather forecast
Well it was definitely worth the trip anyway Steve. Just sorry I couldn’t make it myself in the end. Next time.
Sure it’s only down the road anyway…
I’m meeting a friend in Bray tomorrow..so I’ll bring the camera and check out the Harbour..looks good for bird shots anyway :D
yea the harbour is great
Take some bread, and flick bits about 1cm square up in the air and the gulls will come hover about 4 ft away from you in the air, the pose great for pictures
