To The Zoo

Sometimes friends spur you on to go out and photograph.  This happened last weekend.  I normally would not go to the zoo on a cold March day with snow on the ground, but Lake County Camera Club was having an outing to the Milwaukee County Zoo.  So I went.  I am glad I did.  It gave me a chance to practice using my new 70-200mm lens inside and I used my 100-400mm zoom lens outside.  I ditched the tripod and hand held which forced me to use higher shutter speeds to stop any motion blur and to concentrate on getting the eyes in focus with a lower f stop.  I love the big cats and here are two of my favorites a 7 month old Snow Leopard cub outside and a Jaguar taken inside.
