Ok, got to thinking about this today. I see a lot of folks talking about "getting it right on camera", meaning of course getting the shot to the look as close to the final product as they can with minimal editing.
It seems to be a point of pride with many, a goal to which they aspire. I gave...
Had a great time at the Henry Doorly this weekend. Spent a lot of time watching the tiger cubs, got a few I really liked:

Learned a lot from my first roll through, hopefully that reflects in the images I got this time around. Either way had a ball this weekend :)

Not so sure about this one to be honest. It's in that... ok, I like it but for some reason I really don't at the same time category:

The cubs got a chance to experience their very first snowfall. They really enjoyed themselves:

Kind of an fun pose, for a Meerkat at least...
Ok, I had an encounter at the zoo this weekend that I just had to share.

For sale:
Sigma 70-200 mm F/2.8 HSM I for Nikon. Fantastic lens, fast, accurate focus. This is not brand spanking new or pristine by any stretch of the imagination. There is some finish loss on the exterior. However all in all it looks pretty good. The glass itself is in fantastic shape...
Well, just aquired a Nikkor 70-200mm 2.8 VR I. Looks like it's going to make an excellent replacement for the Sigma 70-200mm 2.8 HSM I that I was shooting with, the image quality is really oustanding by comparison.
Since the first picture I ever took after going digital was a Gorilla, well...
A few more of the cubs from the Henry Doorly:
