Well the weather was lousy, but that was not the worst - the thing I hate most is the finger barrier! You know that barrier put up to keep you back from the wire netting in front of the cage so you don't put your finger in to feed the kitty - makes it very hard to get rid of it!</p>
<p>Anyway bars were a pain and the cats uncooperative!</p>

<p>one day I will learn to stop cutting off the legs!</p>

<p>Shutter speed a little low, should have gone for more ISO - I just really hate going above 200. This is also a pretty large crop since something got into my focus and messed up a section - however its not too bad since a lot of what is lost is just dead space</p>

<p>The cat got into this positiong and I shot, but its not the shot I wanted - I really wanted to get behind the cat and get a shot of him looking out of the bars - unfortunately getting behind lead to the cage bars appearing in the lower half of the shot - that and I think the cat moved away too.</p>

<p>The jaguars were very hard to shoot - their pen was not huge, infact I think it was the smallest of the big cats at the site - though split into two sections since there was a younger cat with a mother - so the father was separate. However it was a darker area and little space to get a shot without any bars</p>

<p>Active kitty was pacing the bars a lot - there was another tiger pen on the others side of those bars so I think he/she had some interest in the tiger on the other side (however that tiger decided to spend the day dreaming)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well that is it for now - some not so easy shooting and my polariser appeared a few times. Unfortunately it tended to appear with the already darker area jaguars since it was there were I had glass pane to shoot through. </p>
<p>Anyway any comments/crits/advice welcome - thank you</p>
