We're going to the zoo

[amara_shadow]

A recent trip to the zoo meant I had the chance to try out my new camera...I took plenty of shots....but these 2 are probably my favourites. C & C welcome

1. Feeding time for the giraffe

2. Meercat on the look out

Aww, these are great! I've been to the zoo twice this year and have yet to see the giraffes!

BTW, having a camera I find gives me an excuse to do a lot of things I haven't done in years!

Nice shots.

They must have a high platform for giraffe viewing... those critters are tall and you were shooting at a high angle...

What lens is this?

Thanks for the comments the lens I used was the AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G which is one of the kit lenses that came with my recently purchased Nikon D60.

Regarding the giraffe and being on a platform - They have dub out the ground in their enclosure, so you are at normal level, and the giraffes are slightly lower....I was so happy with the shot I got.

The 55-200 is an excellent lens. You used it well.
