Taronga portraits
Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2007 11:45 pmYesterday was a wonderful day (weather-wise), so I took the kids to Taronga zoo. As it so happened, I had my camera with me 
I like taking only a single lens occasionally, this time it was the 300/f4. This obviously ruled out a whole range of shots, which made the afternoon pleasantly relaxing. I didn't bother with a monopod either. The light was harsh, and the yield was slim, but here are a few portraits I don't mind:
Tall poppy:
Sad zebra. It was just standing there all the time, didn't move or eat like the others. It must have had something on its mind:
Asiatic elephant. The kids liked those:
Cuddly snow leopard:
What do you think?
Cheers
Steffen.
