A couple of shots from brookfield zoo:): It was a good day, I felt inspired after reading 'Understanding Expsoure', worked M all day, and I actually paid attention to my meter this time, and making adjustments when I saw stuff blinking, I ususally just shoot. I had a lot of butt shots though:scratch Any feed back is appreciated. Thanks for looking.

    All three are very very nice. I especially like the Gorilla and child. Keep reading the book, you're doing excellent work.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Good work Nappalonia. You did good at the Zoo. You can't tell the Leopard was shot through glass and the light is so dim in Tropic World that it is hard to get good shots that aren't blurred. If it doesn't rain tomorrow I might be gonig there, hopefully I'll get some shots as good as yours.
