guppiecatContinuing my photo sets from flickr.
Another visit to the Blank Park Zoo here in town. However, this is my first visit with my new telephoto lens and polarizer. My camera isn't SLR, so the "telephoto" part is only 1.5x, but it does help. I was called into work during this shoot, but returned later to spend an hour with the snow leopards.
If you're interested in the whole thing, here is the set otherwise, continue below for highlights.
Lynx Taking a Bath - "Mmmmm, pawalicious"
Bird - She was walking around with her mouth open. Apparently, there was a mating ritual going on, but neither of them really knew what to do.
At least when birds open their mouths for mating rituals, they don't say stupid things like people do. They just twitter.
Turtle - I got to use my polarizer! See, you can only barely see the water surface.
Gouldian Finch - I figured out the automatic exposure settings here, got some better mixes.
Gouldian Finch in the sun - I think that the colours worked well here.
Snow Leopard - Yay, tongue picture.
Snow Leopard Stalking - This took careful timing to do.
Affectionate Snow Leopards
Snow Leopard - It took forever to get this close up. Why do animals persist in moving?
