[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 193578, member: 12257"] Yet more... Today, I give you a set of "tougher" captures. To start, a direct shot of one of the grizzly bears at our zoo. The glass was FILTHY (you can see it in the background), and for some strange reason, they have high walls everywhere around his enclosure, so I had to find a spot in the corner, stand with one foot on a bench and another pushing off of a nearby wall, then streeeeeeeeeetch for this shot. It came out fairly decent, I think? [ATTACH=CONFIG]50757._xfImport[/ATTACH] Then I circled all around this guy's enclosure, and he kept making sure all I got was a nice shot of his tail end. I finally snapped a quick shot of his face before he disappeared behind his stable. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50756._xfImport[/ATTACH] This was inside the rainforest exhibit, another free roamer, but it was hard to catch a handheld shot in focus with the poor lighting AND the constant motion. I took 5 or 6 shots and got 1 decent one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50755._xfImport[/ATTACH] ...and I had to shoot this lazy kitty through some thick glass. Finding the right angle to avoid all the smears was a challenge. [ATTACH=CONFIG]50754._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
