Belfast Zoo

Who would have guessed it. After a rubbish summer, it was gorgeous today and i had the day off, so i took Lizzie to Belfast Zoo.

The photos are here.

Favourite is this one.

Doing some processing on the photos though, i'm thinking 2 things:

• Need to shoot RAW


• Need a DSLR so i can get a decent lens

As handy as the S5000 is, i'd love a DSLR so i can get some extra flexibility with a zoom in these type of situations and the Fuji simply doesn't take the image quickly enough.

C'est la vie.

Also - should i like zoos? I love the chance to see the animals and give Lizzie the chance to see them, but is it right to keep them caged in such an environment? It has to be said that Belfast Zoo has been doing some good work in breeding some endagered species like the lions they currently have, but nagging doubts prevail.

Lovely day out though.
