Minnesota Zoo - Tigers and Sea Otters
Nov. 23rd, 2008 12:12 pmLast weekend, I went to the Minnesota Zoo with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dd_b and minnehaha B. The point was to get a small group of photographers together and have fun taking photos and sharing techniques. I got to play with a 500mm lens, though it wasn't as sharp as I'd like (and I wasn't good enough at manual focus in dim light), so I wound up deleting a lot of those shots. I was also somewhat disappointed with an f1.8 lens, so it's not on my immediate purchase list any more. However, I did learn a bit about monkeys and got to play with some underwater techniques. I also had great fun with friends, so it was a good trip all around.
The set is here. Highlights will follow over the next few days (and today!)
( Highlights - 9 )
