went to the zoo
Hi you'll,
Stopped by our local zoo
happiness is a warm giraffe (D2H and 80-400VR lens)
the main reason for the visit was to view the newly opened butterfly exhibit
(D2h and the Sigma 105/2.8 macro lens)

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!"

Harry,
The giraffe shot is cute, but the B-fly macros are very nice indeed
Did you use any flash, or just ambient lighting? Whatever you did, these came out very good.
I've got to look into getting a Macro lens too. I just hope it doesn't result in me wanting a $400+ ringflash :uhoh
Thanks for sharing,
Steve

These are the first macros I shot in a long while. I used ambient lighting for these shots. They were a real pain to get. I went to the exhibit on a weekday hoping to avoid a crowd, so of course two local schools were having an outing. It was too crowded for a tripod so I had to use my monopod which meant I needed a higher shutter speed and I had to up the ISO to 400. I set the aperture to F/22 and managed to get in a few shoots where some little tyke wasn't bumping into me or running in front of the camera.

I Like the second shot the touch of yellow and the way the butterfly matches the flower it's on.
Love the way you see, Man
Oh, yeah "Deadwood" very cool show, one of the best right now IMO

Nice color on the butterfly shots.

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again.

Thank you very much. I was happy with the butterfly shots considering how long its been since I used my macro lens.
Deadwood is the only TV show I watch regularly.

Just needed a change of pace. I avoided all the birds at the zoo.
