Red Panda - 6 July 2013

07 Jul 2013 176
Whipsnade Zoo Technically, this shot is not good enough to post. The panda was way up in the tree and against the light but it seems a shame to leave it out. My partner has posted a much better photograph taken with different equipment. P1180685

Lubetkin Elephant House (Mono) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 2 1859
This wonderful building links my visits to London and Whipsnade zoos. Like the penguin pool in Regents Park, the (old) elephant house at Whipsnade was designed by Berthold Lubetkin (1935). For me the architecture is as enjoyable as the animals. P1180686M

Giraffe - 6 July 2013

Whipsnade Zoo This Whipsnade giraffe stayed still for just long enough. Probably amongst my favourite zoo animals. P1180682

Red River Hog - 6 July 2013

Whipsnade Zoo This female Red River Hog, in addition to having snuffling duties on a hot day was being pursued by two young who were suckling at every opportunity. P1180679

Sitatunga - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 127
Whipsnade Zoo I had little hope for a decent result when I shot this Sitatunga well in the shade at Whipsnade Zoo. I was surprised. P1180678

African White Rhinoceros (2) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 172
Whipsnade Zoo See things differently (2). The seemingly placid but also rather distant African White Rhinoceros needed something extra in the composition. I felt the tree was ideal....and the magpie an added bonus. P1180676C

African White Rhinoceros (1) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 197
Whipsnade Zoo This African White Rhinoceros, who is only slightly smaller than my house, was not moving very much which is ideal for photography....and probably just as well too. P1180675

Animal Art at Whipsnade (3) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 134
This wonderful piece of art, which is at once skilled and almost naive, is in the Lookout Cafe at Whipsnade Zoo. Technical note: I like to photograph rectangular subjects this way as it is almost impossible to avoid distortion head-on. P1180674

Whipsnade Zoo And finally....a portrait of a European Bison. P1180668

European Bison (2) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 190
Whipsnade Zoo A pretty conventional view of a European Bison whose coat is not at its peak. P1180666

European Bison (1) - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 156
Whipsnade Zoo See things differently. Zoos are difficult places to work with a camera. I wanted a different view of this European Bison. P1180665

Poppy - 6 July 2013

06 Jul 2013 182
SOOC and spectacular, but nature did all the work. Seen in the grounds of Whipsnade Zoo. P1180663
