Well it looks like you did pretty well, despite the rain. Nice one.

Good shots, although Tiger look slightly out of focus. That leopard needs a bit of exercise

Great shots Ian, your getting the hang of this.
Your processing has come a long way also.

Don't forget you need the eyes in focus, and use the depth of field button to make sure enough of your subject in in focus.

Was Banham Zoo in Norfolk, stayed with my parents for a couple of days, and called in on the way back is not a huge place, but they have really thought about photographers, glass walls on all of the big cat enclosures (except the cheetahs for some reason) , some of the enclosures are a bit small, but they are building new ones to replace them !

11 quid i think to get in, well worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

That hawk thing in the third pic just looks like it's challenging you to take one step closer.

I really love your photos, especially the ones of the birds of prey. It looks like you were right up close (I'm presuming you were standing a fair way away when the shots were taken?). It is harder to take photos on rainy/overcast days, but you did a good job with your photos.

Same reason It always rains on my day off!!

Good shots though. I like the third one best, has a good deal of impact,

I must try and get out to the local safari park when I get my new camera next week.

Got any good tips?

(Other than goin when it's sunny )
