Great pics, i especially love the penguin shot

I'm a big fan of Spain, and would also recommend The Biopark in Valencia or its slightly smaller sister park in Fuengirola, i didn't manage to get to Faunia on our last visit, but will try to stop by next summer.

The 75mm results look amazing, must get one

Thank you! Will have a look at Biopark as you suggest. We were excited by the idea of Andalusia mostly because of the Airstream in the mountains which was an amazing way to spend our time. Booked it through airbnb, that site opens up all sorts of novel accommodation ideas. Love it.

Yeah I had always wanted the 75mm since its release but it is a bit on the pricey side, particularly when i wasn't sure if it would suit my style of photography - but I find these primes are so good they make you find ways of using them. I was amazed how useful it was at Faunia. The focal length and 1.8 combined beautifully for those indoor shots. But i would say the focal length can prove impractically long at times.

Faunia is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area - the entrance is somewhat underwhelming but once you are in they have an amazing range of animals - mostly smaller animals which then mean they have more acceptable space to move around.

Thanks again,

Tom
