Knowsley animal photoshoot

I have needed some much sought after practice with taking good shots of animals. I may not be taking photos of them in their natural environments, but we all have to start practising somewhere. I am quite impressed with the results; it's amazing what you can achieve with a telephoto lens. The most challenging was taking photos of the birds of prey whilst in flight. It was hard to take it in focus and at the right time, as I can tell you, they flew very fast! None of the animals want to stick around, so you have to be very quick with taking photographs, hence why it is more of a challenge. None of these photos are edited apart from the 3rd to last photograph of the bird in flight; which I cropped so it would give us a closer look of the bird. I prefer to take zoomed in photographs of the animals as it gets us up close and personal with them. I love being able to see the detail on their faces; like the giraffe's eyelashes. Unfortunately some of my better lion photographs got deleted somehow, which I am a bit gutted about, so I haven't added them on here : (. Also try and ignore the specks on some of the photos as they are just bits of dust that I didn't manage to clean off. I think I might have potential, and I really want to follow this on properly... I just have to keep practising! !
