    Chester Zoo

    A few from our first visit to Chester Zoo last Saturday, handheld as usual 5DmkIII, 70-200 2.8 mkII with the Canon 1.4 mkIII extender. Really quite impressed with Chester, got there at 10am for opening and stayed until it closed at 5:30, could quite happily have stayed a couple more hours.

    1- 1/500, f/4, iso 160, 215mm shot through viewing glass between fingerprints, hence the slight distortion on the head 'spines'


    2- 1/1250, f/4, iso 6400, 150mm 'taking a bath' very dark area, think the combo handled it all really well


    3- 1/640, f/7.1, iso 100, 280mm that moment you realise you have to go back to work after a great 4 day weekend


    4- 1/1000, f/4.5, iso 250, 205mm This lady was stunning, only a brief 'showing' but worth the wait


    5- 1/500, f/4, iso 6400, 160mm just amazed to get anything at all - dark / through thick grubby glass and water


    Sorry for the photo overload, just trying to show what a varied day it was ;-)

    Thanks for looking

              Excellent and and excellent write up with each shot, I use a rubber hood on a couple of my lenses as it allows me to push them up against the glass and cut out any distracting light or reflections, not that you have any.

                        Great set, David, hard to choose a favourite as they all clearly had their different challenges in terms of glass, positioning, light and backgrounds yet you have overcome them all.

                          A really good set....I like to see a full set....just as worthy as any single image and adds something extra - the set is greater than the sum of images here.
