I'll take that as a compliment Thank you.
Actually I was in disguise. The long lens spent the evening in my shoulderpack - it was much too wet.

Just got back from the zoo very wet and cold but had a great time. Managed to see both of the Bears together feeding managed to get a few pictures of them through the rain which i will upload later or tomorrow morning depending on how long it takes. No sign of any of the Cheetah or Tigers and only briefly saw Iblis. No many of the animals were out mostly due to the weather spent the last hour and a half of the evening in the elephant house watching the elephants and talking to Eveline De Wolf who is team leader of the elephants who i found to be a lovely lady who was very aproachable and genouous with her time spending over an hour talking to us and was happy to answer any question i had.

Hello!

Eveline is lovely and very very very interesting to talk too.

Did you find anything interesting out about the elephants?

Any new information?

Thank you,

Naomi

Rainy Summer Evening at Chester Zoo - HD Video at Vimeo

I'd suggest downloading the 720p file (link in the right-hand column), the Vimeo encode has changed the colour space a little.

It's more of an atmospheric zoo film than an animal showcase.

I enjoyed it, particularly as I think I ended up on the cutting room floor (which is certainly where I belong )

Alan, after you bought that balloon and had your face painted (tiger, good choice) I didn't think it fair to put that footage in the video.

Hello Christine and welcome to ZooChat, the only zoo forum where we're so on the ball, even hand-holding in the zoo is recorded for posterity!

I think you and your fiancé also walked towards me as I was standing under the shelter on the bats bridge junction, but the walkway bounces and it's a nightmare for rolling shutter cameras so that didn't make the edit. In other words, a lucky escape!

lol SMR definitely a lucky escape I was thinking afterwards why did I wear that horrible red shower coat lol, stood out a mile lol. I didn't think you were filming, just taking pictures. How ignorant I am lol
