Listen buddy, we all got problems!
Think its about time I started actually partisipating instead of lurking.
So just got back from a little holiday in Chester, England. They have a fantastic Zoo there which I recommend to anyone who's travelling through. One thing I need to learn though is more control over the number of shots I take, I have a bad habbit of leaving my camera in CH and just taking way way to many shots, storage wise its not an issue but going through them in lightroom after is seriously killing my drive to develop and upload them.

Anyway here are 2 I took from the reptile exhibition they have, was very challenging what with the low light, child fingerprint covered glass and glare from lights. Things got easier when I switched off my mid range zoom to a macro prime.

I'll post more as I work my way through them.

As no one has posted since my last post I'll just edit this one.

A Bali Starling. Almost extinct in the wild :( . Again taken at Chester Zoo where they are having success with a breeding program.

Which 70-300? There is a bunch of them on Nikon.

Keep in mind as well, the D7100 is a APS-C sensor, so that is going to actually be a 105-450 equivalent. Great if you are doing a safari or something, but really restrictive if you want to shoot anything indoors or close up.


The AF-P DX 70-300 is only £150 pre-owned, and while it's very plastic and doesn't even come with a hood, for the price it's pretty great.
