zoo pics with animals
some of the pics from the zoo aquarium in canberra - and these ones have the animals in them ...
HELP with alot of the shots i tryed to take the sun was in the wrong spot ore the subjects where in the shade - pic 5 i was lucky enouth to zoom into the shaded area and was lucky to get a desent shot -- any advice / critism on pic number 5 --- and u dont want to know how many shots didnt work / as i knew the liting was wrong but i hat to try .... help plese 
The Australian sun is a killer for many a shot - you will find that a nice overcast day is by far the best for pics such as these - OR spot meter on the animal and blow the surrounds.
The monkey shot (#1) is cute and perhaps could do with a little bit of contrast. It is a shame about the Tiger(!) as this would have made a great pussy cat shot of the larger kind. Keep em coming  Chris

G'day CB,
Looks like the sun was pretty harsh so it would have been difficult to get the entire picture well balanced for exposure... #1, not sure but is the focus actually a little in front of the animal? Check out the front paw and the corn cob... #2, great pose, just the trees buggered you up, dunno if you could have got another view, not familiar with Sydney Zoo. #3, crop into a portrait and you could do more in PP #4, another great pose, shows the day must have been warm and strong sun. Couple of blown parts, just drop the exposure a little in PP and maybe try some curve adjustment in PP? #5, great moment with the lions... Cheers mate, these are good! I enjoyed 'em... Aka Andrew
I agree with what's been said so far, very difficult shooting conditions.
I may be completely off the mark here, but what do you think of this crop for No.4?  __________

thanks for the advice all .
and i do like the crop on pic no 4 phillip - i try not to do much in the way of pp as my dad has done some shockers and put me off - i am starting to see the advantage in cropping to get more affect with the pics .
