From the Zoo

[Shawchert]

I have seen a big difference in this years and last years photo's of the zoo now that I know a little more about how to use my camera. I am so thrilled to be able to share these photos I know they aren't the best but I know I have really improved from over a year ago and I hope to soon. The only editing I have done was to lighten or darken the pictures

Seeing an improvement is a good thing! I think zoo shots are hard because of the limited angles available and the distances to the subjects. I like the first one and the last one.

While you're adjusting the brightness & contrast, I'd go ahead and straighten them up, as well.

Agree with Snowbear, and maybe bring up the shadows a little. Nice King Vulture :thumbup:

the windows program I have is all I have as an editor right now because i haven't decided what to get and it doesn't have one that helps straighten. XD but thanks a bunch I am quite proud of these.

Shawchert, very nice set - you should be proud of them. As for my favorite I think I like the wolf the best. If your looking for a good graphics editing program you can use in the meantime until you decide which one is right for you, check out a program called The Gimp. It's a photoshop like editor you can get for free, it's interface isn't quite as nice as photoshops but it has a lot of very powerful features.

thanks I always had a hard time with the wolves and tigers and lions because of the fences. I was able to learn how to make the focus make the fences invisible, though they are still there and some evidence is obvious ^^;
