Gorgeous pics Rob! I just love that giraffe one – turtle is excellent too, what a great trip to the zoo if you could get that close them…or do you have a really good lens? :-)

Thanks very much Shannon :-)

Some of them were close (like the tortoise) but the rest I have to give credit to my lens, which totally paid itself off for this trip to the zoo.

I have 3 photo essays from Adelaide zoo coming up, this week is my ‘stylish’ series, next week will be sleeping animals.

Nice photos Rob. With a nice camera and lens you should get out into the Australian wild and shoot some animals in their natural habitats! Kangaroos maybe?!?

Thanks Sophie – what of the snake? :-)

Thanks Dona, animals in wild seem to populate certain areas, if I knew a few I’d be up for shooting some. Later on in the trip I found an island with kangaroos and koala bears on (where my header photo was taken), so there is a few wild photos there :-D

I love the pics! The giraffe is my favorite, I love the way it’s body contrasts against the light background. ;)

My admiration for your work is beautiful because it requires precision and patience to take the best pose of the animal.

I love the orangutan in particular – that sheen on his coat is beautiful.

Richard – the orangutan was indeed very healthy, was doing laps around his large area, so luckily came in view every so often.

Amiee – I’m afraid I don’t have a photo of one :( Not even coming up in the next few weeks.

Nice job on the zoo photos. They do give a great chance to photograph these magnificent animals even if the surroundings aren’t authentic.

Great Photo Essay Rob. The giraffe’s head capture is excellent and so as the healthy orangutan.
