Colchester Zoo (again)

Sorry chaps, can't keep away from wild animals at the moment, our free passes are going to be worn out by next Jan.

First two are with the 80 - 200 F2.8 on my D50, last one is same but with the addition of a Kenko 2x T/C, am impressed with this little bit of kit.

Re: Colchester Zoo (again)

After watching that BBC programme last night about the Tigers in India, this has further inspired me to get my lazy butt off to the zoo sometime soon. Lovely stuff biscuit.

Does anyone else think that #1 resembles Eugene Levy?

Re: Colchester Zoo (again)

Hello there

No need to be sorry, a very nice set and full off detail. Also you managed to catch a very good expression in the 1st two. #1 looks like he has a lot on his mind. #2 looks like he has been caught doing something he shouldn't


Keep them coming.

Cheers Holo
