You can't tell
from this picture, but the baby tiger was running at top speed.
I was absolutely amazed that the picture came out as clearly as
this. |
|
He was playing
with a long piece of string here, in bright sunlight at the very
back of his cage, amongst tons of leaves and brush. I was pleased
that this shot was fairly clear too. |
|
I managed to
find the elusive ostrich. I was extremely far away from this scenario
and there was much brush in the way. Nevertheless, I managed to
capture not only a stare-down between these two but a stately march-past.
|
|
Again, you can't
tell from this image but the Siamang is in mid-swing. I am very
impressed with the speed of the camera at this point. |
|
I spent a short
time in the Butterflies and Blooms exhibit. This bright Julia carried
off the duller one. I thought it was dead so I asked one of the
attendants what was going on. He explained what was happening with
a smirk on his face. They're mating! I felt a bit silly. :D |
|
He then showed
me some lovely Question Mark butterflies nearby.
|
|
I found a
Monarch trying to hide under a leaf. The Monarch was moving quite
quickly.
|
|
The Red Ruffed
Lemur was darting down the log, so I'm happy with the clarity
again.
|
|
And the same
is true of these two tiny Duikers who ran off at top speed as soon
as they saw me leering over the bridge. Again, no motion blur, so
I was thrilled. |
|
I was astonished that this
picture turned out at all. It was taken through very dirty glass
with very bright glare plus reflections of several children's legs
in the window. Well-done, new camera! |
