Wide-angle Tiger
As Big V mentioned in a previous post at the recent meet at the Adelaide Zoo I used the kit lens (18mm) to snap some shots of a male tiger. Here are the results.
 
I had quite of bit of trouble getting the white balance right. The thick glass I was shooting through gave a strong colour cast. These have had a bit of cropping. Here is an example of the "full frame":

The third pic is sensational!!! trying to work out whether the tiger's yawning or growling
Must be an older tiger, those teeth look pretty worn... especially the lower fangs. Shame it wasn't a sunny day  "You are talking about the nonsensical ravings of a lunatic mind"
Thanks ONV73C,
I thnk the tiger was just yawning, but he was bellowing a bit during the day. Yes they think he is about 20 years old. The white sky is a shame, but we might end up fighting harsh shadows on sunny days.
I can't give you a clue without giving it away to those who were there. Stay tuned.

Thanks all.
Don't worry John, it will probably be a little while before I go in again.
I think their behaviour is more based on the weather than the audience. In warm weather they flake out a lot. Daniel Nikon D4, D2Xs, D70, Nikkors and Sigmas lenses from 10 to 400mm

Correct!
You can see the large structure in this older wide shot. 
It looked very strange springing from the top of the tiger's head, so had to go. Daniel Nikon D4, D2Xs, D70, Nikkors and Sigmas lenses from 10 to 400mm
