Went to Chester Zoo over the weekend ... here's some photos. Since this is the photography section I've included the relevant EXIF information! Bear in mind it was a nice day out rather than a big photography outing, but c&c welcome.

I took two lenses with me ... the Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 DG APO


108mm, f/4.0, 1/640, ISO400


214mm, f/5.0, 1/640, ISO400


214mm, f/5.6, 1/125, ISO100


190mm, f/5.0, 1/1250, ISO800


200mm, f/5.0, 1/1250, ISO400


300mm, f/5.6, 1/400, ISO400


And for indoor/low light, my Canon 50mm f/1.8


50mm, f/1.8, 1/320, ISO800


50mm, f/8.0, 16, IS0400
(this one is inside the bat house, hence the 16 second exposure)


50mm, f/3.2, 1/160, ISO400


50mm, f/1.8, 1/320, ISO400
