For some reason I thought that visiting the zoo during lousy weather was a good idea. Well, in theory it is, but not if you forget your tripod and every lens except your telephoto. That poor chain of decisions lead to a battle of lowering ISO and increasing shutter speed. But anyway, here we go:
The first victim of my camera was a coati.

My next stop, the Amazonian building, where every critter hid away, aside from this lovely red fellow

And into the aquarium: where an aperture of f/4 and 1.5 meter minimum focus distance made it almost impossible to photograph anything. Except for this little fishy. He waited paitently for me to snap a picture of him.

And lastly I came across this cuddly bunch of lizards.
