Workshop Animal photography

March 10 me and my brother joined a workshop animal photography, at the Amersfoort Zoo.
It was a nice course to refresh some of the basics, of photography. And offcourse to get some good tips on animal photography. More information about the course you can find, at the following link. Link to course

During the second part of the course, you get some sort of free run through the zoo. During that part we first went too the part, where the keep the reptiles and amfibians.

On the left you see a "Pogona vitticeps" , posing for me.
This is just a crop and not the complete picture.

Taken with my Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 50mm AF-S f1.4.






Under you see the same one, but different picture and crop.



In the zoo they have a dino forrest,
but if you look at this head you see the real dino's.

A part of the course was about shooting through glass,
these both pictures I took through the glass window.

I prefer the picture here on the right, the crop makes the animal look better.

We also had to be creative with the pictures we took. So the next 2 pictures I took at the Savanna at the zoo.




This Giraffe I decided to frame between 2 poles, with the vertical frame I tried to capture the length of the Giraffe. The birds were just in front, so I also framed this one.
