    Spike 241 followup: Since you seem to specialize in cats and live in Kent, wondering if you have ever done the guided photo workshop at Wildlife Heritage Foundation? I will be over there next month and am signed up for the one on April 20.

    Thanks!

    I did last September and it was amazing to get so close to the cats.
    They take you to a mixture of big and small cats and if there's anyone in particular you'd like to see they try to incorporate those too. Andy Porter is great with the photography and keeper side of things.
    I thought it was well worth the money, that's where I got the serval kitten picture.

    I've shared my site in other threads, but it fits here, too. I have almost 25,000 original animal photos of more than 3000 species here: The Online Zoo.

    I have now joined 500px, a photo sharing site for professional photographers. Only 15 images to start with, but I will be adding on a weekly basis. Here is the direct link to my portfolio, but search through the other photographers for some truly amazing stuff!

    I wish! Actually I took it earlier this week at Reid Park Zoo. First time I have seen one of them sitting in the dense tree instead of the bare branch perches.

    I needed a new hobby mid last year after a back problem left me with chronic nerve pain - so I decided to start visiting a few zoos in/around my home town of Sydney, Australia.

    I currently rotate through Symbio, Featherdale, and Taronga (Sydney) most weekends if it's not bucketing down rain. Have plans to expand my list of zoos/parks visited regularly...

    I'm no professional, but have invested in an expensive lens for my Canon 60D - it's worth the expense I reckon...

    Anyways - here is my Flickr page address... regularly updated...

    I hope you enjoy viewing as much as I enjoyed taking them.

    I restarted my gallery so not a whole lot is there yet. The third page shows the most work, including major Before and After edits.
