Kit Lens



sigma 70 - 200

With a 2x sigma tele converter













Without tele converter.
Relax


this was through a chain link fence hence the funny pattern across the pic


It was hot and the boss wouldnt let me get more that this one shot.
I would have loved another with her holding back the grass in front of her

Meerkats are my favourites I could watch 'em all day.

Oh, and otters too. The big animals just sit there and sleep, not very exiting at all usually...

hope your not talking about the last pic Losf?

That first Meerkat one would have to be up there with the best I've seen on this forum - well done

What sort of animal is that last one?


Great shots by the way. That meerkat is great.

Great collection of shots, love the Meercat sitting down... almost like a couch potato! And last shot of the boss is nice, other then the unwanted blades of grass.

Great shots. I'm with Craig on the Meercat sitting down. That is a classic

Nice pictures olrac.
My favourite would have to number one. Well positioned to get this without people or buildings.
Just wondering if you were on the regular bus, or did you go around the Zoo on the photo jeep?
I have been to Werribee a couple of times for work and have always been around in a keeper’s car, which has allowed us to go anywhere.

This is the old bull giraffe
I was just wanting to know as I would love to take the kids there, but wanted to make sure that you still get close to the animals.
thanks.
