Thanks Tisha - getting to be a regular poster aren't we - that's at least three in the one day isn't it ? Steady on

Thought you'd have gone for the ring-tailed Lemur with it's ickle baby, being a girlie

Sorry - diversity course beckons again

Good pictures Bryan, as you know I've got the FZ28, what settings did you use

the first picture is excellant, especially if it was zoomed.

Thanks for the favourable comments.

According to the Photobucket details, it was on the equivalent of a 529mm zoom. Camera was used in program mode. There is a public walkway in the bird enclosure, with a wooden handrail, and the bird just happened to fly up and sit on it - scared the sh!t out of a woman stood nearby, but gave me a great photo opportunity ! Shame I couldn't have caught her reaction at the same time

Have recently been using P mode myself, for shooting sunsets, like the control

it gives you but find it a little fiddly in the menu system. I will persevere with it though

as it seems to give good results, as your pictures show:)

Cheers.

Brilliant photos, thanks for sharing

I'm just dead jealous you can get so close to the animals

Mind, having seen some piccies of you I suppose it's not surprising :P

True, they are pretty handsome animals, so I blend in quite well

I favour the lioness as I'm a leo, maybe thats why I'm a strong minded/willed independant female, (or bloody minded as my Dad says)

Can't a good course of antibiotics be used for a fz28?

just waiting to feel sleepy, been awake 24hrs! helped out at a midnight walk for a local hospice, past tired but need sleeeeeep
