A trip to the Zoo.

I was on a week's holiday down the coast and thought I would check out a zoo for some different animals that are not native for a change.

It was a bit like shooting fish in a barrel! It's not much fun taking photos where the animals are right where you can find them. I guess the challenges of bars and mesh in the way, glass and reflections, harsh and deep shadows, other people fighting for a look and some pretty sleepy and inactive animals made it a bit of a challenge.

Full story and more photos here.

Great shots there Barry!
Love Red Pandas. I have tried myself shooting them but they are pretty shy creatures......also that pic has reminded me to bring my big flash with me next time I visit the zoo. Helps when they are hidden in the shade of the tree branches......
Thanks
Bartman

I've been told off before for using my flash around the Red Pandas, as apparently it will hurt or possibly damage their eyes. Not saying it's strictly true but I did feel like a real chump!

Cheers,
Cam
