While visiting Inokashira Park, I also went to the adjacent Inokashira Park Zoo.
A telephoto lens is a must for taking photos at the zoo, so I brought my PENTAX K-3III and HD DA55-300mm PLM with me on this expedition to Inokashira Park . (I don’t have a high-powered telephoto lens that matches my main camera equipment, the LUMIX S5. Full-size telephoto lenses are heavy and expensive…)
The meerkats are on the alert, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Are they each looking in a different direction, taking turns to keep watch?
Something was flying in the sky, but I couldn’t see it. I wonder if a kite came flying by. All three of them looked up at the same time.
Oh, this time, there’s nothing special about the photos.
It’s just a post about how it’s fun to take photos of animals and how you can arrange them. I’ve been taking photos for years, but I’m really sorry that I don’t have any skill or talent.
The fennecs are snuggling up together and dozing off. Sometimes, when one of them wakes up, they start squirming around and pushing each other.
After a while of messing around, they ended up curling up together again and dozing off.
It’s good that animals like this, which don’t move around much, are easy to photograph.
The snowy owl is the best example of this. The fact that it turned round and faced this way was probably the biggest service it could give.
The owl family members were patient and still, or rather, they looked like they were almost asleep, but when the zookeeper came in with the food, they perked up and gave this tense look, which was a little funny.
This owl must definitely be asleep, so much so that you could bet on it.
It mimics a tree stump so well that if you’re not careful, you might miss it because it doesn’t move.
Well, let’s wrap things up for now and save the rest of the photos for the next article. This was the first part of the article on taking photos at Inokashira Park Zoo as you please.
