Popped into the Zoo just after 3pm today, and the lioness's were very sleepy, seeing they were fed at 2pm. This pretty well sumed up the few hours I was there:

D2x - Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14EII

The Sumartran Tiger was playing hide and seek:

D2x - Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14EII

C&C welcomed.

Great shots fozzie - love them both! Looking forward to going back on Anzac day and getting some more lucky with the 200 ;-)

Praying for a sunny day! PS Virgs: you were right about the flash - I'll bring your bits back on Anzac day

Cheers

Thank you for your comments.

I will be getting some more practice in at the Zoo on Good Friday (6 April) between 9:30am - noon. If anybody is interested in joining me, please send a PM to arrange a meeting place and or exchange Mobile Number/s.

I am too looking forward to meeting up with people at the Adelaide Zoo on Anzac Day.

Edit: Shots from Friday not worth posting, but an interesting one (eye lashes) from Easter Monday:

Great Shots. Which lens did you use to get such a close and sharp image?

zafra - Nikkor 300mm f/4 + TC-14EII manual on a D2x. IMO one of the sharpest lenses Nikon make, and reasonably priced for this type of shooting

Thank you. I am a Canon user myself but I like to compare and learn so I can improve my own shots. I bought a Sigma 70 - 300 mm F4-5.5 APO DG Macro last year, but I haven't managed to come with anything remotely that good. I know the lens is not the best but I suspect is not only the lens that needs improving.

Tiger shot is a cracker, he looks serious!
