Antarctican and Lostprophet go to the Zoo - Part 3

[Antarctican]

Of course, no visit to the zoo would be complete without visiting the Penguins!

1. Molting African Blackfooted penguin

2. Rockhopper penguin

3. African blackfooted penguin

4. Heron hanging around the penguin pond. I liked how its shadow appeared onthe cement.

5. Lostprophet wielding 'the big lens'. It certainly drew a lot of attention from people whenever he used it.

Hmm... Eos XTi with a 100-400? Lets see how good my canon knowlage is. ( i shoot nikon )

 

[ScottS]

knowledge... Ahemm. Whoops

Not a XTi, they have pop up flashes, and this one doesn't. I am pretty sure it is an EOS-1 series.

I love the rockhoppers! They are my favorite!

 

[lostprophet]

well the Heron is nice ;-)

well if nothing else those Rockhoppers are funny

#1 is great, love the DoF, must be a nice lens you have

not sure about the ugly git in the last shot though

...ugly git in the last shot ...

Oh, come ON! :hug::

[If I'd known you'd diss the penguins, I'd have put the shot of you in the gorilla thread.

Is that the 'big lens', or the 'ginormous lens' in that shot?

 

[lostprophet]

that be the bloody big lens if you look at the lens hood you can see the bolt sticking up that holds it in place

 

[Tangerini]

Very cute! The molting avatar penguin is my favorite

 

[doenoe]

aha, the pengiun shots. Was waiting for those
Nice pics, the rock hopper looks wicked.

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

nice shots! I get the same thing when people see me and my lens.. drives me nuts.

 

[Antarctican]

^^^Well, to the public (and to me too!) it's a pretty impressive looking lens.


Thank you everyone for your comments!
