Jason, Excellent job on the fish pic![:)]
Thanks for the complement.
Its all lens (70-200 2.8L). Both at F2.8, first at 200mm, second at 155mm. The lens just makes it so easy to get nice pics!!!
This place has mesh as well but the difference is you get to go right up to it. Telephoto lens against the mesh with wide aperture = mesh disappear
Here's a few I took with a canon 40D and 70-200mm 2.8L (seems like a popular combo)[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/IMG_5F00_0541.jpg[/img][img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/IMG_5F00_0574.jpg[/img][img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.UserFiles/00.00.00.32.28/IMG_5F00_1052.jpg[/img]

This peacock did not trust me. Captured at the Lipetsk Zoo in Russia (he is not use to seeing anything but point and shoot cameras I guess).(Canon 1000d, 28-135mm)

Again, got this while at the Lipetsk Zoo....the Russian says, "Be careful, this animal is dangerous!" It is the cage for red squirrels :)

My favorite shot at the Syracuse Zoo in upstate NY. He was building a home near the elephant display...but since he is not part of the Zoo, he enjoys his freedom to come and go. (Canon 1000d, 70-200mm F4)

I got my new 70-200 2.8 IS for my 50D just in time for a family trip to the Buffalo Zoo. I got a lot of great pictures. I chose four for this forum. The ram above is probably my favorite of the day. He currently stares at me from my computer desktop. I love that lens! I would appricate any critique and advise. I am looking to submit some photos for the zoo contest this fall. I just got back into shooting last fall and moved from film to digital. I forgot the rush of getting a great shot!
Thanks.
Chris

Here's the now sadly deceased 'Hope' having fun with a ball a couple of years ago at the St. Louis Zoo. Handheld 40D with the 100-400 mm L zoom.

THANKS!
The local zoo here has a platform that is about 15 feet or so off the ground where you can actually feed and pet the giraffes. This one was just coming at me and got pretty close. I cranked the f/stop to 11 to try to keep as much of his head in focus as possible. Some times I look at the image and wished I had blurred the background a little and then sometimes I think it's alright. It probably could have used a touch of fill flash but...
I used the 24-105 L @ 35mm.

This photo was taken TODAY in fact... doesn't it look like he was sitting and posing just for the photo... like I brought him into my studio... put up a backdrop, told him to pose and how to pose and snapped it? haha!!
This was taken with my Canon 7D and an EF 300mm f/4 L IS I was renting.... NICE lens! Believe it or not, it was shot through fence (well I should HOPE so if you know what I mean!) but because he was so far away the fence completely blurred out.... photo still nice and crisp. Shot in medium-RAW and light edits in Photoshop and Lightroom 2.

I see some really brilliant work here. That photo of the lion with the piece of meat thrown at it. Wow.
Here are two of mine, both taken at the museum of natural history in Vienna:

Hi,
I agree with 42molybdenum there are some great shots in this thread.
I don't like Zoo's much, prefer the animals to be in the wild, saying this, I do thinkZoo's give the photographer greatoppertunities to capture animalsthat don't live in their country.I accidently ventured past a Elephant hospitalat AyuttayahThailand two weeks ago, cruised in to take a peek seeing I was there, it's a bit like a Zoo.
