Nice portraits. I like watching snow leoparts a lot. In my local zoo there is one that walks around with his tail in his mouth. Toobad they are kept behind a wire mesh, I couldn't grab a good shot.


Is that blur a lens blur or a post processing one?

Don, the gorilla portrait is stunning! Excellent work!


I am using a Rebel XTi with a EF 50 f/1.4 for the first pic and a 100 - 400 L for the rest

[jnort002]

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]
