Weekend fun at the Bronx Zoo
We
made our (almost) yearly trip to the Bronx Zoo yesterday, and it was
amazing as always. I'm a sucker for Zoo photography, and I always take
too many photos, but this time I had good reason. My awesome camera
(it's a Canon
PowerShot A75 if you're curious) has a great zoom lens,
takes wonderful pictures,
and gives me lots and lots of control. I'm spending most of my time in
manual mode now forcing longer exposures than the camera would choose
itself and then taking 5 or 6 shots until I get one in perfect focus
without any motion blur. It really makes the colors pop and gives me
lots of detail when I get it right.
The camera also allows me to switch to manual focus, and I've been bringing it right down to 5cm and taking some amazing macro shots (as you might have noticed).
I'm going to queue up a few of the best ones here in the blog, but I've thinned the herd a bit already and posted the better ones here
