As a rule, I don’t photograph animals from the zoo. All of my wildlife is truly wild. However, today I broke that rule and went to the Detroit Zoo. I bought a new lens yesterday and photographed some deer at a local park. After processing the images, I was disappointed and felt they were soft. I checked my settings and everything seemed to be correct so I decided to go to the zoo today and snag more test shots. Still not sure what I did wrong yesterday but today I am very happy with the lens and it’s a keeper.
I agree with you regarding wildlife shots, but similar situations have arisen for me in the past and I am not above going to the zoo to figure things out. This one is lovely!
