Description

Chester Zoo trip. There were many problems taking shots at the zoo, one was the inevitable difficult focussing through netting and wire fencing. This one came out OK through the fine netting! I had great difficulty taking pictures inside animal and bird houses giving added problems of low light through netting. I took over 400 shots lol, I have deleted over 100. I was that frustrated I forgot to collect information about the animals. But not All was lost I did get some cracking shots too, which I will upload later so I am Happy (and its always fun with Jeff around lol.)

I checked to see If I had any info on this one Alan, but I don't, sorry, I took two pics of this one and deleted both, plus more than 50% of the rest as well. You have done well with this on, the netting was quite a small mesh as well, and you managed to focus through it. Most of mine the mesh showed up very strong. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!!

Beautiful capture my friend. In 2007 I made 120 photos in the zoo and I deleted 100 of them so you did a good job.

This is a very wonderful squirrel. One I'm not familiar with. The coloring is fabulosu and the way it keeps its eye on you is great! Great capture no matter what the conditions. :-)

coloring is wonderful. Just only 100 deleted out of 400. sound like me. low lighing is hard and you have to play with some in photoshop to bring the image out like it should be. of couse camera movement you just have to delete lol

Well done Alan not easy with shorter focal lengths below 200mm to throw the DOF out it looks alien to our little squirrels but in my book of mammals may be Delmarva Peninsula fox squirrel.. But that may not be the case as there was no side on view to show those side colours..

You are right, it can be very frustating to take photos at the zoo, it is not easy, sometimes I take 1000 captures because I know that only 10 or 20 captures will be good or near good.Nice capture and composition ! take it easy when you go to the zoo !
