Had a trip down south with work yesterday. Decided to drop into my favourite zoo at lunch time. Turned out to be a bad time, as it was hot and all the animals had just been fed. Ah well, here are a few.

They have white lions, leopards, bears, girraffe etc etc.

For $20, a photoghrapher with an interest in animals could have a ball. BTW, I am in no way affiliated with said zoo.

I really like the eye contact and clarity in #2. Great colour as well.

#4 would be my next favourite, cool action shot.

[EDIT] Just noticed this is in General discussion, so probably less relevant what I think of the shots!!

The more shots I see from Mogo the more I want to arrange a weekend trip. Could be a lot of fun, and $20 is a bargain!

I have been lucky enough to visit almost every zoo, park, reserve and "enclosure" in NSW and have to agree with you about it being a good zoo. Especially when you consider that it is a totally privately run establishment. BTW my favourite picture is the red panda.

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Yeah, wasn't really after C&C dawsey, just showing a few of the shots I took at the zoo. I was just surprised how many people haven't heard of the place, so I thought I would post in here.

Mogo is terrific. The Bigma would be great there.
