Lowry Park Zoo Photos

It was $5 day at Lowry Park Zoo but temperatures in the 30s (yes, Fahrenheit!) kept the usually massive crowds away despite the discounted price. I went with several other brave (? -- you may have another adjective in mind) members of the Brandon-Riverview Photography Group.

Some of the animals were out but many had more sense than we did. I had my 2x magnifying extender on, which means that I had to manually focus all of the shots while wearing two gloves on my left hand because auto focus doesn't work with my extender.  Photo below by Roger Moran.



That's not to make excuses for the lack of brilliance. Just sayin'.

I also think that I need to quit being lazy and use my tripod to get better focus on some of my shots. Handheld is adequate for posting on a blog but for print quality photos, I need to take the time to set the camera on something solid.
