Here are some shots from a while back that I finally got around to messing with. Comments appreciated. 1. She looks very happy for some reason. Either that or she's yelling at me to get away. 2. You'll see in this and the next couple of pictures that I just kept cutting of the tail of...

Just a few more shots from my recent zoo trip. 1. Really liked the pose on this one. Wish I did a better job avoiding the highlighting on the feathers 2. 3. These guys were a riot. They kept coming up to nibble on my clothing while I was kneeling to take pictures. 4...

Haha, he does doesn't he. :lol: Thanks!

Bump with more photos. Just a few elephants enjoying their bath. 1. 2.

Yeah, I liked the bored/sleepy expression from him. I was a bit disappointed with the barn owl shots due to the fact that the shade made for some rather lackluster lighting.

Was at the zoo and some of the keepers were out walking around with some of the animals. Here are a few shots I took. 1. 2. 3. 4.

I see you've already gotten some advise, but I just want to emphasize: putting them in the shade, in that situation,was not the best choice. If you left them out in the sun, the light level on your subject would have been closer to that of the background, giving you better overall exposure...

Would you mind explaining to me a bit better what you did, because that looks great! My PS skills are still a bit weak. I generally just adjust the white balance, exposure, light curve and saturation of the RAW file and then use the GIMP to apply some selective sharpening.

Well Thunder Over Louisville was yesterday, had a good time at the airshow. Here are some shots I snapped. All I have to say is shooting planes is really difficult, especially when using a manual focus (I don't get very good results with my autofocus). Also, I really need a bigger lens! 1...

Pfft, don't worry about it, was just straightening it out. :thumbup:

I think your confusing me with Jim, I didn't post the eagle shots, but the above shots of the hawk are mine. The reason I shot at 150mm is that is the highest zoom lens I have, and the reason I used an aperture of 4.5 was to keep the background blurred out (I shoot aperture priority, so I don't...

Well I took a look at your thread, and it seems you have a focusing problem with your images. I tried my hand at attempting to sharpen them, but it actually made them worse, so I won't bother posting them. The lighting and exposure of your pictures is decent, but they're very much out of...

Notice this guy on campus today. Luckily I had my camera with me. This is probably the best out of the bunch. Here's a second that I attempted to save. Here's the original, which needed a lot of work.

@Kundalini: I don't mind at all. I agree with you that your crop gives the shot a much more pleasant composition. I just didn't want to go overboard with my cropping, though, because I didn't want to sacrifice image quality/sharpness. What I need to do next time is compose my shot better...

Here's another photo of the monkey. It's my attempt at "saving" the original shot. I'm very interested to know others opinions as to whether they think it is "overdone". Here's the original for comparison. As you can see it needed a lot of help.
