SOOC and spectacular, but nature did all the work. Seen in the grounds of Whipsnade Zoo. P1180663

European Bison (1) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 118
Whipsnade Zoo See things differently. Zoos are difficult places to work with a camera. I wanted a different view of this European Bison. P1180665

European Bison (2) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 153
Whipsnade Zoo A pretty conventional view of a European Bison whose coat is not at its peak. P1180666

Whipsnade Zoo And finally....a portrait of a European Bison. P1180668

African White Rhinoceros (1) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 139
Whipsnade Zoo This African White Rhinoceros, who is only slightly smaller than my house, was not moving very much which is ideal for photography....and probably just as well too. P1180675

African White Rhinoceros (2) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 149
Whipsnade Zoo See things differently (2). The seemingly placid but also rather distant African White Rhinoceros needed something extra in the composition. I felt the tree was ideal....and the magpie an added bonus. P1180676C

Sitatunga - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 97
Whipsnade Zoo I had little hope for a decent result when I shot this Sitatunga well in the shade at Whipsnade Zoo. I was surprised. P1180678

Red River Hog - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 122
Whipsnade Zoo This female Red River Hog, in addition to having snuffling duties on a hot day was being pursued by two young who were suckling at every opportunity. P1180679

Giraffe - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 151
Whipsnade Zoo This Whipsnade giraffe stayed still for just long enough. Probably amongst my favourite zoo animals. P1180682

Red Panda - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 142
Whipsnade Zoo Technically, this shot is not good enough to post. The panda was way up in the tree and against the light but it seems a shame to leave it out. My partner has posted a much better photograph taken with different equipment. P1180685

In A Field of His Own - 16 July 2013

16 Jul 2013 137
As I work on a considerable backlog of both images and editing, here is a simple something to uplift. I was walking to photograph the Islander next in sequence (if you are viewing my photostream) when both light and subject seemed right for this suburban portrait of a local horse in Lee on Solent.
