Here are some of the pics that I took in Dubai Zoo. The challenge in this was to get the correct Focus to make sure that the bars of the cage in the zoo does not come in the snaps.

Putting the camera in the manual mode helps but then you can always focus on something in far distance and then try to focus on your subject and it might help, if not go for manual focus…

I did most of this with manual focus.

See, this is what I meant when I said that Auto Zoom might not be good idea.

This does not have the cage.

A little post processing might help your snaps look great.

And sometimes, some amount of waiting to get the correct shot might make all the difference in your photos.

You can see some other snaps on the National Geographic site here.
