I shot through glass at the aquarium once and the lady standing next to me reflected into the photo and it looked like she was under water in the sea otter tank. Her hair even distorted and looked like it was floating. Paul

I like this capture as well.
Shooting through glass at the zoo can be tricky, as I have often found fingerprints etc which sometimes clouds the glass.

Well, it certainly is a nice lens....and you've done very nice work with it...I would not have known that this was through glass...but that isn't important, I don't think...you have captured this Cat extremely well. Traveller

Sigma Zoom Telephoto 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG APO OS

I was able to use the glass window to help with the shot... I had the lens lightly touching the window do block out glare.

1/30 at 400mm IS very difficult...you must have a steady hand also...which lens is this? Traveller

The Sigma lens has some decent image stabilization. Another handheld shot.
