Zoo Pics

Thanks to all who commented on my last photos of Autumn Woodland. I finally got round to trying out Silkypix with a couple of pics from the Welsh Mountain Zoo.

The chimp was shot on K10D with an 85/1.8 SMC Takumar through a dirty plastic/glass screen but still seemed to come out ok (though I did boost the contrast a bit to help).




Crop:




Also with 85:








This one was with a Sigma 70-300 APO



And another one with the 85 (which is fast becoming my favourite), not at the zoo b.t.w , trying to get that flowing water effect:





C&C would be appreciated.

Welsh Mountain Zoo!! Haven't been there since I was a kid!

Love number 2 and that water fall!!, I think you have it just right. Not a strip of "cotton wool", but still gives the feeling of fast flowing water.

I love the Chimp

Love the Chimps and Penguins. I have a passion for both. Cracking shots!

RichardC,
Please could you tell me where the Zoo is, I'v seen it but carn't place it

I'm amazed by the clarity in the crops. Seems like a stunning lens! Well done.

Number 2 is an excellent crop, the detail is superb.

Nice one.

Lovely shots and just goes to show what quality one can get from a 30+ year old lens.

Best wishes, Kris.

Thanks for the comments,

Terry, the Welsh Mountain Zoo is located at Old Colwyn (nr. Colwyn Bay), North Wales. link
