Guest Report post Posted April 19, 2009 I went to the zoo again on Saturday and came away with these pictures. All were taken with the K20D and Sigma 50-500mm. All at ISO 1600 and various settings. Here is a shot showing the pack of wolves that are at the zoo. And this one caught me off guard and sure wish I had captured him. He was one unhappy puppy.

Peterjay 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 I like #4 as well, although you've been spending enough time with the wolves lately that I'm beginning to get a little suspicious. My advice to your neighbors would be to stock up on silver bullets and start checking the moon phases on the calendar. They'd also do well to stay off the moor. (Are there moors in Colorado?) When I was a kid, I spent a lot of Friday nights watching horror movies on Shock Theater, so I've got a pretty good idea of what the danger signals are. OOOOOOOOOOWWWOOOOOOOO.

Thank you Peter, yeah I have been spending quite a bit of time there OOOOOOOOOOWWWOOOOOOOO. I did notice on Saturday that after just a few hours I was ready to leave. So I think it is time to find something else to stalk no I mean photograph. Flowers haven't started blooming yet. Thanks Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted April 22, 2009 Very nice. Note to self: take the camera to the zoo sometime Thank you Crotalus. Normally when I go to the zoo with my camera nobody is coming with me because they know where I will be at. If someone else is coming with me then my camera stays at home. It makes for a more enjoyable time that way. lol Thanks Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
