Dublin Zoo -SURUMARTAN TIGERS

As I mentioned yesterday, I had reason to be in Dublin with 2 hours to spare so I went to the zoo.   So for the rest of this week, I am taking a break from posting on my 6 week trip to Africa to show you the photographs and video I took.  Other than sign boards, all of them are straight out of the camera without ANY editing.  
I would value you opinion.

All of the shots were through glass as you will see and although there is a facility on the camera to deal with that, I could not remember where it was quickly enough at the time.  I was sorry I had not thought ahead to discover where this facility was on the camera to see what difference it would have made to the shots.  An opportunity missed! All well, who is perfect!






















I hope you enjoyed this post regardless of your opinion of animals in zoo's. 
I know i can edit out the reflections from the glass.

My new camera is Lumix Panasonic DMC FZ 200

 Now watch this magnificent animal in this short video.

Many thanks for all your comments.

WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY - Wild Birds at Dublin Zoo

As some of you know I have had to replace my camera due to the fact that water got into the one I usually use so last week I took the new one out for a test drive.  Yesterday I showed you photograph from Bangor Walled Garden.  As I had reason to be in Dublin with 2 hours to spare, I went to the zoo another day.  So for the rest of this week, I am taking a break from posting on my 6 week trip to Africa to show you the photographs and video I took.  Other than sign boards, all of them are straight out of the camera without ANY editing. 

I would value you opinion.

Bangor Walled Garden - end of September

As some of you know I have had to replace my camera due to the fact that water got into it so last week I took my new one out for a test drive.  Firstly to the Bangor Walled Garden (today's post) and the next day I was in Dublin with 2 hours to spare and went to the zoo.  So this week, I am taking a break from posting on my 6 week trip to Africa to show you the photographs and video I took.   All of the photographs are straight out of the camera without ANY editing.  I would value your honest opinion.

Sit back and enjoy the beauty of this garden.































I hope you enjoyed this.

Now relax as you watch and listen to the fountain.
