With the African safari looming less than a month away, we decided to get in some real wildlife photography training at the Minnesota zoo. Even though the winters are horrible here, the zoo is awesome in that it has a bunch of we-don’t-give-a-fuck-about-the-temperature animals there.
I was anxious to see how well my new 300mm f/2.8 lens would do with the 2x teleconverter since in the dusty Serengeti I won’t be wanting to keep putting it on and taking it off again. It didn’t do so bad but clearly the lens performance was noticeably better without it.
Brenda, with her antique cameras was forced to shoot animals who were very close-up, but I think she may have gotten some good shots. I especially want to see how here infra-red film shots turned out.
