Skins

Jacob wanted to go on "vacation to the zoo with Dad". So we took a half day and went to the zoo. Jene', Josh and my younger brother met us there later. Josh and I took the camera along so we would have something fun to do.

The attempt for me was to view things in the artistic realm. The other option was to photograph the people of the zoo and forget the animals. I may have to return to that topic some day because there is lots of 'interesting' material on that subject.

Josh will have to post his stuff later. He took about 700 pictures. After the out takes editing he is down to 100. He is in the process of narrowing it down to his top 5 pics. He is actually starting to get an eye for it. I wish digital had been an option when I was learning. Would have saved me a lot on development costs.

This is a huge departure for you. I don't see any landscapes. I like the artistic aspect of skins at the zoo. In all the times I have been to the zoo I have not tried that. What lens did you have to use to get in so close? My favorite is the Zebra. I like the way the sun affects the white stripes. Nice smile as well.
