Colchester - flying visit

[David Stallard]

Couple random shots from Colchester Zoo this morning. 1DX, Canon 200-400 with built in extender.

Just Chillin!

#1 1/500, f/4, iso 3200, 371mm in the rafters of a information hut.,


#2 1/500, f/5.6, iso 800, 560mm too hot - can't be bothered lol


#3 1/500, f/4.5, iso 400, 200mm shooting through the thick viewing glass doesn't always work, but think I got away with it this time.


#4 1/500, f/4.5, iso 640, 200mm usually through into the pool just doesn't work - even the Penguin is shocked that I even tried!


Thanks for looking!

The snow leopard is the best of the bunch David. We often try and get shots of the red panda at Marwell but the little b***r is always up the tree

Thank you one and all - the 200-400 certainly isn't for anyone trying not to draw attention to themselves - probably the same with the big Sigma as well, gets embarrassing sometimes lol

Thanks Stan (and I wont tell anyone you meant to type 'Amur' Leopard ;-) ) I believe 99% of the time red pandas actually refuse to move - they are secret cats really

I've only got the 100-400 so no where near 200-400 or sigma but you get a little self consensus sometimes around others - lens envy with other shooters!
