A visit to Chester Zoo on a cold and frost morning in February with a Nikon D300 and 2 VR lenses - Nikon 18-200 and 70-300. All images are hand held and mostly have VR on. The VR was useful in several cases to allow slow shutter speeds to be used to blur moving water. There are larger versions of images if you click on them. Many images have been cropped - heavily when mentioned (60%+)
