Nice shots, did you use the kit lens or something else?

Thanks. Was using AF-S 70-200 VR lens for all the 3 photos.

If you notice the tiger shot you can see some reflections on the left side. Was shooting thru a moving bus window...I agree this shot could be better. Thanks

Oh lemme guess.. Everland Safari!
Nice pics, i know how tough it must be cos of the moving bus and shooting thru the windows. Miss the Ligers.

Your whites are absoloutely burned. Try to use blinking highlights, the white areas should just be blinking for a very small area, if any at all. This is very important for taking animals and birds, for reasonably static stuff like these (even on the Everland coach) it is very easy to get it right.

I was there too 2 years ago. First thing 3 hours after touchdown, -10 deg C. Damn it, had not even acclimatised.

2100, you are right. Thanks for pointing it out. Did not use the blinking highlights before and now after you pointed it out I see the usefulness of it. Correct me if I'm wrong I should underexpose the shot right??
