Thanks Gooner. He's usually not a very cooperative subject but I guess I caught him in a good mood on Saturday.

Thanks Brian. I usually spend a couple of hours at the cat complex on each trip. Huge fan of the big cats myself.

I really liked the perspective on that one. Got lucky, he was just getting up from a nap.

Wait, you've never heard of the Nikkor 98-280mm F4? Your kidding, right?

Lol.. actually it's my Sigma 70-200mm F/2.8 HSM I with a 1.4x Teleconverter attached. I've found it to be a really nice combo for the zoo, fast enough for a lot of the indoor work but gives me enough reach for most of the outdoor stuff.
