New Camera Photos on Trip to the Zoo
February 2010

This is perhaps my "best" photo of the day. It's a red panda in a tree.

This panda is *inside* by window-light (quite dim), behind *glass*, and I'm using my big lens (heavy) with no tripod.
It's amazing the picture came out as well as it did.

This cheetah is not stalking prey, nor even pissed at the snow. But it knows dinner is being prepared and it's pacing in anticipation.

Squirrels are the luckiest animals at the zoo. They don't lock them behind bars.
This guy is licking a squashed peanut (or something) off the ground.

The autofocus didn't always work the way I wanted it too. Here, Jab's collar area is sharp, but his face isn't.
