i would use atleast a setting of 400 or more (600,), and widen your apeture !.!.!. the flash isn't liked by the animals, so try to avoid that!. besides you will probably be too far from them for the flash to have much effect except to disturb them!. take several shots at different settings of the same thing, (i'm always messing with my camera this way)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Take a big ziplock bag to keep your camera dry!. I always have one in my pocket when I'm out shooting in the threat of wet weather!.

Use a wide aperture to minimize the background intrusion, but focus becomes critical!. Make sure the eyes are sharp!. Have fun, nice overcast will make for better images than bright and contrasty sun!. Zoom in close for impact!. Just do what you know and I'm sure you will have lots of keepers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Bump it up!.

We were at the Getty Villa today--it rained in the morning and was quite cloudy!. Perfect day for photos--just like a giant softbox!.

First few photos I tried the depth of field of Canon 135 mm f 2!.0 L at f 2!.0
