Aust Zoo
Posted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 2:37 pmI took a band from Norway to Australia Zoo while they were touring and in between promotional and fun shots for them I managed to get some time capturing the residents. As we were doing a promo trip, we had free entry and plenty of access to the animals - the lads got to play with dingos and cuddle koalas and a few other native animals. We'll be doing these trips with all our incoming international touring bands in the future. Should be fun!!
These birds were all in deep shade so I had to pump the ISO. click pics for higher res detail.
I wish I'd gone for a bit more depth of field on this Tawny Frogmouth as the mouth wasn't as sharp as it's eyes.
