4 more zoo images (Part II). · 08:01 PM

Exif Intact. (missing on the first ?)

Love #2, especially the catchlights in its eyes! Focus is spot-on.

#4 has great texture as well.

#3 could use a little purple fringe removal on the whiskers.

Overall, a good set! Looks like fun!

Great shots. now instead of stealing yours, I need to make another trip to the Zoo (Damn

) to keep my wife happy, she went nuts over your shots. Any tips?

Good job

John

Wonderful shots! What lens did you use on #2?

Cheers.

Excellent is an understatement.
I checked your other 10 pics also...

I think I got the PP spot on with #2...I do have to work on others a bit more. I know the first one has tremendous potential, if I can get the PP right. Thank you for the PP warning, I know something is wrong with the whiskers, I thought it was sensor pattern, I'll Try to remove PP and see.....Thanks.

Thank you for the compliments, and I am glad your wife liked it as well.

I used the FA 77 Limited and the F 135/2.8, if you need one of these, this is the time to convince your wife on it....work it man

(FYI: I used the K-7 to take these as well

)

Jeff, except for the first one the pthers have the exif intact. I used the Pentax FA 77mm f1.8 limited on that. Thank you.

Excellent! Right on the eyes and the Hippo with its alternating blue and grey tones is just magnificent.

Need i say it again?

octavmandru · 09-06-2009, 04:31 AM

Well, what does PPG has to say about it? You must send for approval

daacon · 09-06-2009, 05:18 AM

Thanks....I like the hippo, but I am finding it hard to really like it...I feel like it's missing something major, but I can't put my finger on it. I love the texture, I love the color, but as a whole image something seems to be missing, but I don't know what.

The same shot with the hippo facing me would have been perfect.
