Wait for the moment

[canta]

When sizing up a possible photograph, always consider what might happen, if you wait a little longer. Anticipate the movement of these swans, for example, and you'll notice they're side by side, drinking randomly - but you know that if you wait a little, it might be possible to catch them drinking in unison. THis is the result, and it's more pleasing.

So if you're at the zoo, always wonder what the animals might do next, and be ready with the camera, already focussed and raring to go!

I used an 80-210 Kodak lens on my Canon EOS300D so I could shoot these birds from a distance without worryingtoo much about disturbing them.

Last time I was at the zoo I had a perfect shot of a cute monkey.

I took the shot only to find him turn about face with this big red arrass in the air

I couldnt possibly post it here though
