4000 (plus 1)

[doenoe]

I noticed it the beginning of the week that i finally made 4000 posts. Didnt have alot of time, so here is the first post in a new era
Went to Rotterdam zoo last weekend and made a couple of shots. Had some nice lighting in the beginning of the day, but later on the clouds were everywhere. That made taking pics of the tiger a challenge. Was shooting through glass with a 300mm at 1/200......handheld :er: I can tell you that alot of the shots went straight to the bin, but there were some shots that were ok and here they are:
#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

#7

#8

#9

#10

#11

Thanks for looking

That thought crossed my mind too. That, or it looks like it's waterskiing.

I hace to say, I do love the way you said "there were some shots that were ok" These shots are not okay. They are fantastic. All of them. Especially the owl and the tiger ones.
