    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!"

    Thnxs Harry I was expecting the wire these guys were behind to be visable but I was happily surprised. I wasn't as lucky on the Bald Eagle shots,

    Thnxs Troy! The Owl was in the birds of prey area. I tried and focus right between the wire. I used my 70-200VR for all the shots. The light wasn't good enough to use the Bigma.

    4labs,

    These are very nice. I too like the White Owl (no wait, that's a cigar), I mean Snow Owl. I liked the Toucan with the banana on his beak too.....Laughing.gif

    You can only do so much shooting at a zoo. You did really good, IMO thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Especially, having to shoot through fences clap.gif



    Good work and thanks for sharing,

    Thnxs so much Steve,

    You and Harry have set the bar really high, it's been very motivating to see your pics..Living where I do, I have to settle for the zoo for now. Here is one more of Love Toucan style17700582-M.jpg
