few pics from last nights zoo meet

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Really cool pictures there Redline. Looks like there was some pretty harsh light to deal with, but you've made some nice captures. I especially like the giraffe's head cocked to the side.

Some great shots there :) Agree - the giraffe is a ripper.

Looking at the bus with the Zebra, looks like they pack them into those things! Bet you're glad you were out in the open!

Wish I could have made it down for this one - did consider it carefully, but already had the camping trip organised. Maybe next time :)

Will be interested to see some reports showing what lenses were used in the various shots :)

Some great shots in there Redline, was great fun eh? My favorite out of that quick snippet would probably be #14 (can't remember the species other than it was some type of Antelope, maybe an Indian Antelope?) Nicole, can you remember?

Cheers,

Nice one Thai. My favs are the rhino wallowing and the giraffe. Can't wait to see more.

I think you're right Mudder. Indian Blackbuck Antelope - except the male is not black yet.

G'day,
Don't mean to pinch your thread Redline (sorry mate), but though while I'm getting some pics and an account on pixspot ready, I couldn't resist putting this up... Seems PlatinumWeaver and an Emu seemed to catch each others' eye ;-) Couldn't tear 'em apart :lol: The Emu then started nibbling on PW's arm, twas such a "touching" moment :lol:
Cheers,
Mudder
