Hey Beth....the Nashville Zoo is here in town....just south of the city. If you go to Nashville Zoo you can get directions and see some pictures of the animals there. It's mostly an outdoor walking zoo.....it's really nice.Originally Posted by Ali012281
Ooo. Where is the Zoo around here?I love zoos! Great pictures.

Brian....the good thing about this zoo is that it's mostly an outdoor zoo with walking trails. They've made all the animal exhibits to look as much like their natural habitat as possible so you don't have to look through bars on most of them. For example....for the large cats (who can obviously jump)...they built large deep waterfall areas at the front of the exhibit so that the cat can't jump at the humans.....but the humans can have an unobstructed view of the cats. As you can see in the Tiger picture.....there is a fence behind him. I wanted to be able to get rid of that background so that just the Tiger shows....but I haven't worked on it in Photoshop yet.
The other thing is that I had to really maneuver on some of them to be able to get unobstructed views of the animals.....and some of them....I just couldn't get a picture at all. (like with the Cloud Leopard who was absolutely gorgeous and I wanted a picture so bad of him!)

Here are pictures of the Clouded Leopards from the Nashville Zoo website that I couldn't get pictures of on my trip there yesterday.
They were SO pretty! I really wanted pictures of them.

I like the tiger, too - I can see the difference in the Cheetah and Tiggy shot. The Cheetah shot (which is good) almost looks like you took with 400 speed film vs. professional grade film for the Tiger. I know that's a stupid way to describe the difference in a digital photo, but there is a quality difference in the two. I don't quite understand how the feature works that you were describing, but it works! Great shots!
makes sense...
In that case, forget the camera...
What kind of LENS do you have? Must be a heck of a telephoto...

I know...there is a huge difference. Basically instead of letting the camera control all the settings.....I shoot in RAW which allows the camera to capture all the details of the image and allows me to adjust for exposure in Photoshop without any degradation of the image at all. It's hard to explain....but yesterday at the zoo, I decided to give it a try and I loved the results. It gives me much more control over how the image looks in the end. I think I'm going to always shoot in the RAW from now on!Originally Posted by captiva

Oh and I had read a bunch of articles on camera features while I was shopping and this was one of the features I wanted. (ability to shoot RAW) It's kinda hard to explain how exactly it works in technical terms....but it works.

I was just using a 70-300mm and my focal length on this shot was the full 300mm. It's not really a telephoto.
Hmmm... right now I think we're paying like $550 for the photography so if you can find a plane ride to Hawaii for that price, and if you don't mind sharing a condo with my parents, it's a deal!Originally Posted by KittyKook

That's a great idea! The darn yearly membership is pretty high and if you pay each time you go.....it's $10 per person just to go.Originally Posted by mrsd
Go for it! I'll bet they'll accept.Tell them you want free zoo passes to take more pictures.
