Snake / Madril Zoo Pics (20D)

[Skippy]

Hello there, a recent trip to the Melbourne Zoo to try out my Canon 20D, resulted in a bit of disappointment (my own fault) because I failed to check the settings on the camera < ---- silly me :bash

I was looking through the files again last night and salvaged these two shots.
Enjoy........ Skippy (Australia)

Snake shot was taken with Canon 100mm Macro

Mandril was sitting patiently waiting for another Mandril to cross its path so it could play ...shot taken with Canon 70-200mm....yup I need a bigger lens :D

Hey Skippy,

I'm going to the Melborne Zoo tomorrow too (the one in Florida). :D
Good shots and I was relieved to see that creepy snake shot. That's the Skippy I know. :thumb

I shot this one using a really high ISO, hand held and behind glass too :)
I'm sure we can figure out what the heck we're doing wrong Troy, but again the bigger the subject the easier it is to photograph :)

Take Care...... Skippy (Australia)

:D I am looking forward to another trip there, need to go to the Reptile section earlier this time around to avoid the crowd.

Have a great day at the Zoo Harry, I love the Zoo :)
