Prague Zoo, a zoo with a Chair Lift!

- Our 3rd day in Prague we head to Prague Zoo. A very hilly zoo, so hilly in fact there's a chair lift you can use to get up and down, which I did of course.
And the zoo was open for 12 hours! We didn't stay until it closed, but we certainly made sure to get a good look at the whole place with that much time!

enjoyed this trip. new to your channel. looking forward for more adventures
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Coming up next is Paris, followed by Canada! Both of which have a trip to a zoo!
I really enjoyed this visit with you. Sorry for the bad weather. I'd have expected a lot more people there, though. What do you think is the longest camera lens length one needs to get some nice closeups?
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Even with the weather I still really enjoyed the visit.
Camera lenses are such a difficult choice, debating the zoom you need, weight you're carrying, and if you need a tripod. I personally use a 300mm lens for my photography camera, I get some good shots with it, but I'm considering getting a 600mm lens as well. My only concern is holding it steady, at that size you start to need a tripod, which is fine in a location when you plan to stay for a while, but if you're regularly moving it more inconvenient.
So I'd say if you're concerned about weight, and want to go mainly tripod free, I wouldn't go more than a 300mm, but if you're happy to use a tripod, then a 600mm will be amazing in a zoo.
If you're into wildlife photography then 900mm would be amazing, but as much as I'd love one, the cost is a bit much for me atm 😆
hi, Darren. thanks for you fast reply and thoughts on the lens. I much appreciate it!
I take it from your zoo expert advice that the lens can't be long enough. (I'm on mft and own the 100-400mm which translates into 800mm ff. It's not that heavy, thank god. So I will bring it and the tripod and hope for few people, too.)
I am visiting for the shoebill and the pangolin. I can't wait to see them and all these amazing animals that you walked us to, as well.
@Goldberry2007 fantastic to hear. I hope you have a great trip and get some good photos. Feel free to drop me a message after your trip, I'd love to hear how you got on and see some of the photos you get.
I definitely think you can never have a big enough lens, there are certainly pros and cons both ways, but it's always annoying when an animal is just that little bit too far away for a good shot.
Shoebills are such incredible birds, but pangolins are just adorable, and so special. A species in such decline, here's hoping they can be saved.
