Getting back to Melbourne Zoo

After over two years I managed to get back to the main Melbourne Zoo. It was like it was before the pandemic and really didn’t seem like the last two years had happened.

Well, I’m embarrassed to say that I forgot to post about the photo challenge yesterday. It is photo challenge number 7 and I was so carried away with other things yesterday that I didn’t let you guys know that it is Wildlife this week.

Review – Tamron 100-400mm lens

Taking photos with a telephoto lens usually means compromises. They are often too heavy to just hand hold and you have to use a monopod or tripod. They can come with a very expensive price tag which makes them out of the range of most people. Tamron have come up with a compromise.

Weekend Wandering – Moonlit Sanctuary

There hasn’t been a Weekend Wandering post for quite a while, but yesterday I went to Moonlit Sanctuary in Pearcedale. It was my first visit and I suspect I will be back. Seemed like a good place to do a Weekend Wandering article for.

A Trip to Melbourne Zoo

Last weekend I was teaching a One on One at the Melbourne Zoo. It was the first time I have done one there, but I hope it isn’t the last. It was nice to wonder around and help someone learn how to use their camera.
