this bird .. once u get into zoo can see edi

vibrant colors..

I knew it. I knew it. Some day some one will talk about me and bird... haha

I didn't zoom at 300mm. But I can assure you that this lens is sharp at 300mm if stopped down to F8.

#2

ISO: 400
Exposure: 1/2500 sec
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 300mm

not hard to notice, isn't it? well at least you're not into PC Fair girls, which certainly is refreshing.



nah, i'm not a sharpness freak. i just want to see a closer view.

love the water droplets in mid-air

#3

Model: DSLR-A200
ISO: 400
Exposure: 1/160 sec
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300mm

Loving the tiger photo. Fantastic shots indeed.

I'd say.. if you can zoom out a bit more and capture his full reflection it'll be nicer or at least the complete head reflection

You're from Malacca ? Went to zoo the other day also.
Too bad don't have telephoto.
Anyway, would like to know is it hard to handheld 70-300
As I can see, most your photos are sharp enough

No, I'm not from Melaka. I'm staying in Cheras.
The Sigma APO 70-300mm is light enough to be handheld. I guess the A200's SSS helps in steadying the shot.

Well, I'm not sure. I was shooting the tigers and suddenly one of them decided to take a drink. You know, you don't get to shoot this very often, so I zoomed out to the max wanting to capture the detail, and managed to shoot only about 5 frames before it moved away. I didn't even have time to think

And... luck does matter.

Another shot to share. I found this tiny fella next to macaw eating the bird's food, and took a few shots.

#4

ISO: 400
Exposure: 1/125 sec
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 300mm

Should have frame it slightly lower so that the leg is not cut off? Btw good timing.

Hrmm not too sure if you are a fan of cropping. But since you already cut off the leg, why not a try cropping it so that the frame is filled with his head and arm eating the bird food?

Point noted.

i totally like ur colorful parrot and green bokeh

Just to share another Malaya Tiger:

#5

Model: DSLR-A200
ISO: 400
