Weekend zoo walk

It looks like you used smart sharpen on the entire image which created noise in the background.


I know you are not submitting these photos to National Geographic or anything, but I would select just the subject, smart sharpen, then select the inverse of your subject, and do a noise reduction, your subjects will POP even more!

Thanks Parker, I'll give that a try.

Nice stuff I like them all. The one with the little girl and peacock is precious.

So something along these lines then:

That was pretty hilarious to watch actually, she was feeding the bird some of her popcorn. So the bird started chasing her, then she'd turn around and chase the bird. Thank goodness my camera is on a shoulder strap or I would have dropped it I was laughing so hard.

^ Yeah, pretty much. Although when viewed full size on flickr, you still see some background noise, but pretty minor.

Really like the first one. #3 is nice as well.

Incredible. The lion is my favourite. You're extremely talented, Robbins.

Lol.. well appreciate that but not so sure about the talented thing. I do try to get a little better with each outing though.

Thanks folks

Lol.. nope, I don't work there but I do spend a lot of time there. Bought the yearly membership so I can go pretty much whenever I want, and in the winter I've found that's handy because there really isn't much else to shoot around here when the weathers bad.

Ah, the perks of big-city living. Out here in Podunk, USA, you can quickly run out of inspirational subjects to shoot. Going to have to drive up to OKC next month for the zoo and botanical gardens I reckon.
