Pingu! Calgary Zoo – Lee Tickett
First, a big plee for you to keep sending in your submissions, and encourage your friends/family to send us theirs lee@photobotos.com. Still finding us a little bit short so I will continue to fill the gaps to ensure we have a new photo every day. Every submission will be entered into our competition to win an Olympus PEN Mini E-PM1.
This penguin photo was taken in Calgary Zoo, Canada on a recent trip (you can see the rest of my photos on facebook). It was a tricky shot to get; the longest lens I had was 85mm and the penguins were indoors lit pretty poorly. Fortunately the 5D Mark III performs really well in low light- i pushed the ISO up to 3,200 with still no visible noise.
Now the weather is starting to pickup a bit back home here in the UK, hopefully i’ll pay the local zoo a visit soon and get some more!
