Liek Woody, I also ended up calling in at the Zoo today, work was called off for the week-end at the last minute (woo hoo!, But now working next week-end doh!)...

Anyway, just a few of the 'mates... Stick nose or critique...





Met Nicole, (G'day, I'm waving from here ) while wandering around... That D70 pro-loop strap gave me away

Cheers,
Mudder PS. Wasn't sure whether to embed the images or provide the addrs', which is preferred???

Love the third one "The thinker", gota get myself to the zoo one of these days.

Mudder - the first pic is a classic - stick in hand (looks like he/she is picking their teeth) and stick in foot.

The second pic is also great - the look says it all - ”why don’t you p@ss off and leave me alone”

The third is classic too - ”Is that a Nikon D70 I see - don’t know it could be a Canon - but hey I’m only a primate what do I know!”

Perhaps both you and woody should have ape avatars

As the official primate avatar, I feel the need to post my avatar a little larger. Taken handheld at 300mm. THis old boy was giant and intimidating. Just before this shot he was looking straight at me. Good lord I was shaking. Then he got up and pissed in the river. I was impressed that this ape had the presence of mind...beats some humans I know of. Undfortunatly I focused badly on the full body shot, but this face shot came out all right. My avatar doesn't do it justice.

They are intimidating aren't they! The male I took a few shots of today was grunting aggressively and chased the younger ones away before he sat down in front of me... If it wasn't for the VR, my shaking hands would have blurred the shots to mighty!!!!

Ps. Edited... Forgot to say it's a great shot at a very "hairy" moment...

You did get some great ones of the gorillas Mudder! I'd have to say the second is my favourite. Classic pose for this one and good that you caught it facing the crowd for a change.

Your strap definitely gave you away the second time I saw you. See you in 2 weeks for an animal fest at Werribee!

Excellent shots Mudder!

The third one is my favourite. Could this shot be the thinking persons gorilla?

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Mudder, Mate they are fantastic i love the 3rd shot just the expression that is given sets that pic off to me, sim to Chris he looks very puzzled.
Well done.

Thanks for posting. Now I don't have to go to the zoo.

Nice sharp pictures. When I first read the title of the thread, I thought there was going to be X-rated animal shots or something.
