Another blinder, stunning. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful zoo to visit.

Hi Jon, great capture. That is quite the tongue. I'm surprised at the 1000 ISO - dark day?
Nikographer [Jon] (52 months ago | reply)
It was overcast (rained later) and he was in the shade..... I use auto-iso a lot at the zoo targeting a minimum shutter speed of 1/250th.
I just wish I was standing directly in front of him for this :p
