So I'm going to start with my favourite creature and the one that has won me 2nd place in an international photography magazine competition, and has won me a couple of medals for our photography club including Digital Image of the Year. My beloved bald eagle shot. (I know a lot of you have seen it before - sorry.)
And then there's a rather gruesome looking fly
Everyone's favourite (apart from the bloody annoying one on the telly!) a meerkat
A very loving pair of Giraffe
And one of my favourite favourites, this chimp taking a nap.
I could put 100 photographs of creatures in here and still have more. I love photographing creatures. Unfortunately, most of these creatures were cages at Chester Zoo not running around free, but if it weren't for zoo's we wouldn't have half the creatures in the world, they'd be extinct.
Wow-fab pictures!
ReplyDeleteWow - seriously stunning stuff here as usual - now how did you get the giraffe size backdrop? :)
ReplyDeleteI am not surprise you won prizes with that photo - and would not be surprised if you won some more prizes with the rest! LOVE LOVE LOVE the fly. Not gruesome at all. FABULOUS! Ok, I really do need a better lense.. and then some lessons!
ReplyDeleteStunning, stunning images Annie. Great as always
ReplyDeleteWow! Those photos are simply stunning. Well done you.
ReplyDeleteChimps, orangutans and gorrillas are my favourites :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow - I want a calendar of all your gorgeous photos. No, I mean seriously I do!
ReplyDeleteFabulous.

They are so perfect they look like statues. Amazing photos :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteLOL@ giraffe size backdrop. That really made me laugh. I got lucky in that they were stood in the doorway to their giraffe house and the good old clone tool in photoshop let me clear it all up to a nice even black tone :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much :) You will love a macro lens, you see all sorts of things you never knew existed.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I do love photographing animals and bugs
ReplyDeleteI like the orang utans too, they've moved them at Chester Zoo and you can't get close enough to get a good shot anymore :(
ReplyDeleteOh wow. Incredibly impressive photos!
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to oblige :) I'm actually thinking of getting some made up to sell around Christmas time. I almost did one last year but when I got it nearly together I decided that none of the shots were good enough so scrapped the idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteMy sensitive ego has definately been stroked today. thank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteIt worked a treat - the giraffes at Blair Drummond insist on standing in front of a horrible timber fence - they're really not at all accommodating :)
ReplyDeleteOh WOW Annie these are AMAZING! I've spent a good ten minutes pouring over all the details.
ReplyDeleteFabulous - well done you! xx
Stunning photos really! Lovely to see Meerkats are popular this week:-)
ReplyDeleteI think you should definately make a calender and or notepads out of the little people photos you had done.
ReplyDeleteWow, your photos are just exceptional! x
ReplyDeleteSuch inspiring photos, they make me want to work so much harder on my photography. The chimp taking a nap is just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThere are some people who just put the rest of us to shame: you and Mrs W and Heidi, to name just three (after a very good meal out, so I'm sure there are more). These are just amazing. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd you've changed!I hardly recognised you there. You look great! x
Absolutely stunning photos! especially the fly. wow
ReplyDeleteWow what stunning photos you are very talented xxx
ReplyDeleteOne word : exquisite.
ReplyDeleteStill reeling at the Eagle. Can only shake my head in wonder. Thank you so much for sharing.
MJM.

ReplyDeletefantastic as usual...love the giraffes especially. :0)
