100% of my shots are zoomed! Sometimes they're zoomed out as far as the camera will go though. With my hoverfly shot, that was zoomed in a bit, otherwise it'd do a runner (flyer?).

I've got a very zoomed in shot of some sunbathing ducks because I couldn't get close to them without spooking them, and I wanted them to fill a good percentage of the frame. Also the ground was marshy and I started to sink as I got closer. I'll see if I can find that photo.

That one was taken in the carpark at the water front, such a nice little town Queensferry.

The Dakota is really nice, went for a meal there once.
Never had cause to stay myself, I only live 10miles away :D
Looking forward to your pic.

Something's causing a bit of a buzz in my village today. At first I thought somebody was just watching the World Cup with the volume too loud, but then found these:

Linked because these photos are quite big, and it's not possible to appreciate the numbers from a scaled thumbnail.

Of course! Hell if I was getting any closer! I was on the footpath that the hive was next to, but right back by the road!

One thing's for sure when construction is completed: it ain't half gonna be crowded! Maybe they're making cutbacks and it was just too expensive to make a bigger hive.

Zoomed right in for this one. I was back on the road which runs alongside the field, but with the camera's zoom at default you could see blue in the sky at the top, so I zoomed in to fill it with the intended colour in the distance.

http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/1549/011ql.jpg

And not really relevant to the topic as it's about zoom shots, but seeing as it's relevant to the above photo, I thought I'd post it here anyway. The same scene, from my mum's en suite window.

Invest in a tripod for long exposure. definatley better images as a result.

I try the best I can to keep the camera still.
