We had a great time at the Werribee Zoo photo shootout. Thanks to Mudder who spend alot of time putting everything together.

I was unable to upload the pics to pixspot and so I had to find alternatives.

Had about 57 pics in the following url.

D70 + 80 - 200 f2.8 one touch + TC 1.4X + SB 800 + Flash Extender.

That one touch is a nice piece of glass! Can I suggest one tip that may improve your imagery....all of the images were taken from the same viewpoint...It is a good practice to avoid taking a picture from the same point of view as it would be seen normally. A lower angle would have increased the impact on some of your photo's. Just my opinion but a valid principle of photography.
Keep posting. I enjoyed the images.

Heaps of pics there Arthur. Some familiar poses there. Nice pics.

In regards to the angle, we were all in a open sided truck and weren't allowed out so no go there.

Matt,

Whilst I agree with the concept, in practise we were all on the back of a truck being driven about the park. So not only do all our images have the same perspective, there are seven copies of each image, through different lenses (Greg )

We discussed having our own competition called "The Same Perspective"

Meh.

Where's the T-Rex?

like the photo of the close-up image of hippo submerged in water, altought WB is off slightly.

great work, arthur

Thanks to all for the kind comments. Agree totally with Matt about the different angles and composition.

Some of the pics have inconsistent exposures as I have gotten tired of doing the corrections. Also, some of the pictures could be much better if cropped.

I am looking forward to the next trip there or to the zoo for more practices.

cheers,

Arthur

G'day Arthur,
There's some great pics in there... Was a good fun day wasn't it??? Like that flash extender, that's a bewdy for catch lights in the eyes...

The hippo shots are terrific...

Dunno if I'd be game enough to get a low angle with the Bison or the Rhino

Was great to meet you guys too...
