A Couple from the Muskoka Wildlife Centre (More coming)

I rented the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS Mk II for this shoot. To put it bluntly that lens is freaking awesome.

Awesome shots!! That big cat looks freaking scary!! Was this out in the wild or in a zoo type place?

A zoo type place. The Muskoka Wildlife Centre in Ontario.

Even if I prefer "real" wild pictures, I have to say you did a great job! Compliments!

Just a quick comment on your last shot: Probably the owl it's too much in the center. I'd put it slightly to the left. IMHO

...I'm in love with every one of these shots! I live in southern Ontario, so I'm going to have to try this place out!

Thank you Kate. It's definitely worth the trip. I may be organizing a group trip up there some time in the Spring. PM me if you're interested and if I do organize something I'll be sure to let you know.

& thank you all who commented.

Stefano, I agree, I should have composed some more room in the direction the owl was looking. Obviously I didn't at the time and I'm admiring the smoothness of the 70-200 Mk II too much to crop out any of its goodness.

Wow. These are great. Quite impressive series here. How were you metering for these shots? Particularly the wolf and fox photos?
