The Zoo Trip

Well we decided to head back to the zoo, and I brought my camera. As expected most animals were asleep. I did manage a few shots, I would say not my best but not bad.





New baby gorilla, I know it's a bit soft but man I was dodging little people!









This made me sad yet I loved the shape the gorilla makes.

The ones with sunlight look good. Those in shade look slightly underexposed to me. Though I should talk. Dunno why, but I usually find telephoto exposures more tricky.

I'm guessing the Gorillas were shot through glass and the eagle through a fence as you have got some shading on the gorillas and can see the wire in the eagle which is a shame.

If you have a lens hood try get the lens hood to rest on the glass/fence and you'll nip straight through them and won't be able to see that they are there :)
