Alasse Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I went to the DDZ on Wednesday...i actually quite enjoyed it. Being its a private owned zoo its no Melbourne type, but still it was great to be able to photograph other animal types. Thought i'd share some of the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marion 01 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Beautiful pics Alasse, aren't the lions just so special. They look a very pale colour to the norm or is it just the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Nice shots. I particularly like the macaw and the iguana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decadence Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I love the photos of the lions, especially as you were able to take them without bars getting in the way. I love the macaw too, such intelligent birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alasse Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Beautiful pics Alasse, aren't the lions just so special. They look a very pale colour to the norm or is it just the light. Thank you. The big cats was my main reason for going....The tiger though wasnt playing the game the day i was there.....They are white lions :) The 2nd last shot the lion is actually stalking my son lol, He ran past the enclosure and boy that woke em up and got their attention. This is him chasin my son along the front of the enclosure Pacing up and down the cage follwing my son Nice shots. I particularly like the macaw and the iguana Thank you. I rapt with how the macaws came out, the sun was somewhat behind them and the cage wire to shoot through. The iguana i am suprised they came out as clear as theyy did, the glass veiwing panel was pretty grotty. I love the photos of the lions, especially as you were able to take them without bars getting in the way. I love the macaw too, such intelligent birds. Thank you. It took some effort to make the camera focus through the enclosure wire, the lions were on the far side of the enclosure, and we were about a metre from the wire itself. I wasnt sure how they would come out, but yeah very happy. The macaws would be a favorite, they are such hams lol Gorgeous shots! Can I ask what camera and lens you use? Thank you. Camera is a Sony A33, using DT 4-5.6/55-200 SAM. Absolutely love my camera! Edited July 6, 2012 by Alasse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I can't decide if that is really neat or really scary. Great shot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoofnHoof Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Those are awesome pics I went there some years ago the lady who owned it (Stephanie?) was really nice, last thing I knew it was being sold so I don't know if she's still involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
