A couple from the zoo
-
Thanks Adrian, yes both taken through glass, I find that if I use a lens hood
And place the hood on the glass it cuts out all the reflections, luckily both subjects
were in good light and stood still long enough to snap them.Two nice images Jenny, that said I’m not in favour of keeping these animals in captivity.
Dave.
Thanks Dave, I can see where you are coming from but in fairness to Dublin zoo they are one
Of the best zoos for protecting endangered species with their breeding programmes. The animals
are all born in captivity and have far longer life expectancy than in the wild.Lovely shots Jenny,,,,I’ve yet to make a return trip to Dublin zoo……Think it’s been 30 plus years lol…
Dec
Mental note…… Bring lens hoods on next visit.
On Dublin Zoo…… Agree totally, also foto doing massive work on their Cheetha breeding program.
Thanks Dec, long overdue for a visit then! Huge changes there over the last few years.
I like them Jenny. I think the fist one has great face expression.
Also I like the tip about the lens hood and the glass.
Love the tiger! Great to see some natural colours! Pictures going around the internet have tones pumped up so much, the tigers look full on orange,nearly brown and the snow leopard might as well be yellow :D
Well done. Think you just boosted the zoo visitor numbers by the amount of the PI forum members :lol:
Thanks again Vee, maybe a PI outing is in order! I hope to get to Fota this year too,
I love cheetahs and they have loads there!Two great shots Jenny. Better than I’ve managed up there. A slight levels adjustment might improve the tiger a bit IMO.
