Fozzie, Big V, Tyrone_Tong, Rookie2 and myself spent today in at the Adelaide Zoo. It was a good time, but the light was challenging.

More in my gallery.

I still didn't get a nice shot of the macaws.

Now, now. Play nice.

Here are most of the attendees chimping and preening:

Except for Big V who was chasing leaves and looking very distorted at 14mm

Rookie, none of the leaves were worth it but

show that you do not always need a macro lens...
and Daniel, were did my legs go? can you do that to my stomach?

The wonders of wide angle distortion can only go so far...

Rookie, the macaws are a hard catch....manually setting the exposure has worked well on the lion
