Val, the clarity and detail of your pussy cats is absolutely breathtaking.

Thanks Bynx for your kind comment.

In this shot the Lion seemed to be saying 'You still here!'

Here is a set of pictures I took when I was in the zoo with my family. I didn't know in advance that I we would be going to the zoo, so I didn't have my telelens with me. This limited me to the animals that were quite close. Also, it was rainy all day, so most animals were in there shelters.

I love #3, and unusual angle. Did you use your 17-70mm?

Native Aussie favourite past time.


A sleeping red kangaroo.


I have no idea why this kangaroo had to sit there hanging on to his dear tail.

Thanks Tori
No, I didn't use the 17-70. For the first three I used the 135 f/2.8 AI-s and for the last three I used the 50 f/1.8. The fish were lit very dimly, so I needed the 50 and ISO 1600 to get the shots.

Tim, nice shots of the kangaroes.

Far2000, I really like the second one. It looks dreamy--or nightmarish!

I'd say nightmarish. Should do some more PP to add more effect.
