Sunday i went to Blijdorp, which is a zoo in Rotterdam. Its really big and you dont even notice that you are in the middle of a big city. Anyways, i took my 350d, 70-300mm lens and a tripod. Next time ill leave the tripod at home, cause i never used it (allthough at some shots i should have) Took 360 pictures and there is only a small amount that didnt have camera shake................i really have to get used to this lens :er: So, here are some pics that worked out pretty nice (at least i think they did :mrgreen: ) Thanks for looking Greetz Daan
What a variety! They are all great! The DOF you get with your lens is great and you could really zoom in onto the animals, which I like! When we were in Emmen, I so sorely missed my 35mm Canon with the 300mm lens! I must go to a zoo again soon now! And a wombat! Wow! (Well I do take the animal in Photo 3 for a wombat, hopefully I am not totally and embarrassingly wrong here.....)
(psssst.........that isnt a wombat, i forgot what it is though. Wombats are rounder that that) Thanks for the reply
(Psssst.... it is NOT? But you can't help me out of my online calamity by telling me WHAT it is? Dang... ) (I have an idea that it could be what is "Murmeltier" in German, but someone "stole" my dictionary and I can't look up what that is in English right now...grrr)
I really wouldnt know..........i only know that it was displayed in the Oceanium (part of the zoo) and it was in the south america part (if i remember correctly) And yes, thats a wet otter. Great little creatures
love 2 6 and 9, the sea creature, tiger and otter. nice work. is #3 a sloth? I've never seen one of those either. there are some strange critters out there... #1 a prairie dog? i haven't seen one of those in a while either. we used to have them all over the southwest...
Im sure it isnt a sloth. Ill check with my bro, he got this little book. I think all the animals are in there, that were displayed. And the first one is a prairie dog, cute little buggers
