Spent a few hours today with my A700 and 70-300G at the 'Paradise Wildlife Park'. Not the biggest wildlife / Zoo I have been to but a nice selection of big cats with good viewing points, the 'G' has now firmly become my animal / wildlife lens as I only junked about 5 shots from the whole day and they were all down to user error icon_wink.gif

Most shot through either glass or mesh fencing hence a few with odd distortions, hardest part was deciding which ones to post up lol. Hope you like my choices.

#1 Heard a roar, turned shot and hoped for the best

    Good set especially the captures where you were able to not let the zoo surroundings into the images.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    bfjr - sorry, got to ask. . . what does 'B&G' mean (I know it's probably obvious but I can't figure it out)
