2008 Albi 197
Went to Colchester Zoo today, was really looking forward to using the new Sigma lens with our Canon 350D - but the majority of our photos didn't turn out too well, even though they looked fine on the LCD at the time ![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
We were using a polarising filter too to help with shots through glass, but the a lot of the photos have come out really faint and unsharp - any tips for better zoo photograpy?
Some samples of the good and bad ones below. C&C welcome!
What the majority were like:
Can anyone shed any light on why they are hazy - is it down to the filter? Or am I using the wrong settings on the camera?
