Red Crested Turaco

I went to Twycross zoo a few months back, and this was the best picture of the day. Quite an inquisitive little fellow, he was.

Taking pictures in zoos can be quite a trial, because you normally have to contend with bars, mesh or glass. In this case there was a fine mesh in the way, but if the camera is up close to it and you have a low depth of field and a fairly distant focus it can all blur away to nothing.

Techinical info: ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/250s, hand held.
