Some Zoo pics

[bob_r]

Probably because of the holiday, the forum seems a little slow, so I thought I'd add a couple of shots I took at the zoo yesterday:

This was taken in the aviary, a place with very poor lighting.


1/800s f/1.8 at 85.0mm iso800 (Canon 85mm f/1.8 USM lens)

I thought I'd use B&W to match the B&W plumage of the pelican:


1/800s f/5.6 at 150.0mm iso100 (Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens)

And I thought this shot by the polar bear water tank somehow seemed appropriate in the "Wildlife Rap" forum. This location has outdoor lighting for the water tank, but poor lighting inside the building:


1/3200s f/1.4 at 50.0mm iso640 (Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM)

Great shots!! What program are you using to make the borders? I love the way they look like they're matted or in frames already

Good Work

Pat,

Thanks and the program for framing is Absolute Sharpening Web, an add in script for Photoshop. Here's a link if you're interested:

Thought I'd add another one that may give you a chuckle.
