New lense tested - Monkey World

[Pint]

Went down to monkey world yesterday and tried out my new 55-200mm lens. Found the extra zoom really handy but god those apes are hard to photograph - they dont keep still and are generally really dark. Oh and your always photographing through chain mail fences or seriously smeary glass.

Anyhoo, here's the best of the bunch.

My personal fav:

Random dog down at Lulworth cove:

Off to Durdle Door (SERIOUSLY windy!)

Then a few at Bournemouth Oceanarium. (18-55mm lens)

Found the fish really hard to photograph as i needed a high shutter speed and high ISO. Never really managed to master it.

C&C welcome

The outdoor ones have come out well. I like this one too... the grumpy bugger.

I was about to say that about the 3rd picture, seriously eerie. You really have captured a 'human' moment there, superb.
