Zebra & Gazelle

Today's zoo shoot only yielded one keeper. I shot many frames but was only pleased with one shot. This zoo environment, with zebras, gazelles & vultures makes for a very natural looking scene. I love the coloration of the animals in the frame. The sun was high in the sky making framing and composition critical to get as much highlight detail as possible.

Re: Zebra & Gazelle

Great photo Bob, everything appears to tone in so well that it was almost a case of 'spot the animal'

At first I thought the two moss covered mounds on the left were giant tortoises!

Re: Zebra & Gazelle

That is a lovely photo. The thing I miss most of all now we no longer live in Africa is the wildlife and the safaries I used to go on as often as possible. Here there are no zoos close enough to visit often.

We've only got one Zebra left Joe. The second one croaked about a year ago. I think we'll hang onto the final one. No baby zebras for our zoo.

Bob matey - they have 1000s of 'em in Africa, - you'll just have to import a few from Kenya or Zimbabwe and start your own breeding programme.
