A few from Sydney Wildlife World - Darling Harbour

[admajic]

After our morning shoot, we had a few coffees and then headed to Wild Life World.

I borrowed this Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED
Its not much of a macro lense but I thought it would be fun to try over the 18-70 I had on me.

Here are a few I liked thus far.

All taken hand held, yes my back still hurts from carrying that beast.

Let me know what u think...

I hope that isnt a serious problem I should have checked out

some nice captures.

The double bar finch in the last pic seems to have a WB issue though.

these guys are pretty much white on the face/breast
but these pix have blue/green tinge to em.

I found that using auto white balance on birds can cause this and always use one of the fixed wb modes on the camera cos of it, if you shoot raw you can always change the wb later anyhow. Auto WB seems to work great on all sorts of stuff except birds and animals where under certain conditions you get the blue green tinge.

wonder were these shot with auto wb?

I must confess I am a auto wb junkie. I do agree that I was having heaps of trouble focusing on some of the animals and having wb issues. Thanks for the tip
