Hi everyone , not my usual subject to shoot, a bit too big actually :rofl

but could not resist trying to shoot the 14 week old tiger cubs at chester zoo, they are soo cute:D

i dont have the lens to do these justice ( canon 70-300 is f5.6 crap in poor light! ) iso 2000 used on 5d2.

shooting through wire mesh always going to be a problem, but did not do too bad.

mother and cub a heavy crop but it is a nice moment! might never ever see this again!

hope u like these

phil


my fav shot :D

    Love the second one, Phil. She almost looks like she is protecting her child even with her tongue! He's so cute. Would love to see them!

    Great shots Phil. In actual fact a couple of the best tiger shots I have seen. The first image of the cub speaks for itself and no doubt will be loved by everyone. Well done.
    Cheers

    I love the second one, too, Phil. That female tiger looks almost sweet, taking care of the cub!

    Those are pretty fantastic with an iso of 2000. Very cute as well.
