Several Wildlife Photographs

[stevemunoz]

Here are a few of the photographs I managed to get from the Nashville Zoo. Would love to get some feedback on these.

Particularly proud of shooting a 500mm lens at 1/15th of a second and getting a shot like this.

Lots of Patience and Panning to get this shot.

Really liked the textures in this shot.

Thanks,

Nice bokah, nice focus, good head position on #1, Great "hair" on #3. What lens are you using?

lvcrts: I am using the Sigma 50-500mm 4-6.3 (aka "The Bigma"). Great lens, but its a workout carrying it around for awhile. It weights about 5 pound with the tripod ring and hood.

Formatted: That was the best shutter speed I could get without switching to ISO 1600 and getting a grainy image. I took a few at 1600, and it still was only at 1/60th or so. Just recently writing the blog. Keeps the creative juices flowing when I'm stuck indoors and can't get out to shoot.
