hey all! i've bought an Dslr with the kittie lens and now i've learned to use camera a bit i can show you some of my photo's. these are all shot today in the Botanical Garden of my university, where a domesticated cat was very playfull.



here is an action shot. it was shot with ISO 1600 because it was quite cloudy. i love the ISO performance of the 400D! :barb



wich helped with the action shots!



and finally: the strangest fish ive ever seen. it only has a backfin for the rest, just legs. :huh it was called an mexican walking fish.. :rofl i figured something like that..



thnks for looking! :thumb

I believe the mexican fish is an albino mud puppy, or looks like one, we used to catch them all the time up north . are they really fish ????I thought related to salamanders.amphibians ??

i'm not sure,

i found this creepy crawler in an aqaurium in the botanical gardens of my university and i think it said something like mexican walking fish but ill drop by when i get the chance and see if i can get the latin name for it. there were different coloured fish/amphibians in there, black/greyish as well. it didnt surface and had no place to rise out of the water so it was breathing air like other fish do.. strange thing..
