Friday Otter and I went to the Brookfield Zoo and brought our cameras with. It turned out that Whirl, one of their Amur Tigers was rather active. It ended up as a day to do a tiger study. See Whirl at play on one of our other sites.

We ended up taking 449 photos of her all told after eliminating the various blah photos we ended up with 212 good pictures. Yesterday we made another pass to pick the best of the good photos, 88 in total, and that is what I posted at the above link.

Woof! Up close and personal

This, above, is a typical shot of the wolves at Brookfield Zoo, when they're on the top of the hill.


This is what you get when you have a f-11 lens, aka a 1.6-meter-ish telescope mounted to your SLR. Yes, this wolf is on the top rock in the photo above.

These are both from 2006, two different trips.
