Default Tiger Tiger

I did a trip to an Indian Wildlife Park in December of this year.
I managed to get some good sightings BUT it was always in very shady dusky conditions.
I shot with a high ISO (around 3200) and I was still getting shutter speeds of 1/25 or so..
When the Animals on the move that makes out for some blurry shots..
I've added some pics here any tips on wildlife photography...
Not an amateur but beemn a point and shoot guy most of my life though..
I'm using a Canon 7D and 100-400 L series lens.. f4.5-5.6
Is it worthwhile getting a 70-200mm f2.8 as a lens?
I do wildlife and getting in to street photography and I travel extensively..

Hi. I had meant to click on both.

2.8 would make such a difference.

I have 2 fast primes, can't afford a fast telephoto, but the difference from 2.8-5.6 is HUGE!

Enjoy your purchase.

BTW,

Your photo is quite blurry. I'd try shooting in aperture mode at f4 or more

He can't, hence the poll.
