Our outing at Taronga Zoo
What is the collective noun for a group of photographers, anyone know?
Here was a chance for LCCP members to put into practice all those fantastic tips that Jacci Schipp-Benz gave us when she did her presentation last year on ‘Photographing Wild Animals’.
We had a fabulous turn out of 14 enthusiastic photographers and after a quick coffee pitstop, Jacci marched us off to our first location, the all new Tiger Trek.
Wow, what a great addition to the zoo and what a treat it was to spend what must have easily been 45 minutes patiently photographing three beautiful Sumatran Tigers. We were also the first group through which was perfect timing. We then made a quick dash across to the Elephant tower for a birds eye view of these amazing animals.
We visited a wide variety of animals and judging by the rapid fire of our cameras we must have collectively taken 100's of photos. I can't wait to see some awesome images at future Evaluation Nights.
We start them young at LCCP. Little Aston at just 4 years and his first Nikon.
A big thank you to Kirstin Sercombe for coordinating this event, it was such a shame you were unable to join us due to a nasty virus. A thank you to our fabulous President Diane McKenzie for stepping in to rally the troops in Kirstin's absence.
And a special thank you to Jacci Schipp-Benz herding us through Taronga Zoo!
