Zoogiraffe on cheetah run

Zoogiraffe does the cheetah run - Cheetah area - ZSL Whipsnade - 28/01/2012

Pity the timer was knackered,as I was moving faster than a speeding Gazelle!!!

I feel sorry for the wall he's about to whack into.

I have checked the EXIF data on this photo very carefully.
Was a shutter speed of 1/500 second really necessary? I suspect that the image might have been sharper at 1/30

It was my camera's decision, had it on auto for basic shots so I suppose my trusty camera judged zoogiraffe's speed

I hope it doesn't need repairing

How dare the lot of you be surprised that a man of my size and build could move that fast

As for Satan being worried about the wall yes it did move,a fair bit when it got whacked by myself,but then I would expect that with myself having played Rugby Union as a Flanker and American Football as a tightend

JR, better watch out, your camera is getting to the same age as my old 300. Starts doing crazy things.
