A Trip to the Zoo

Well, the San Diego Wild Animal Park to be more specific. Took my camera along and took some pictures to experiment some of the settings. I used Manual settings for all my pictures and, honestly, most of the shots were not superb (the ones below were just about 5%-10% of all the pictures I took).... all part of the learning process though. The ones below look like the good ones I took that were worth showing.

There's a hint of the glare from the glass -_-

The story is that the baby Zebra here was born on New Years day. so it's only 10 days old!



And this last shot is if one of my Nendoroid's I brought along for travel shooting. I have some figures separate from my main collection for reason's like this (Figma Haruhi and Konata, Nendoroid's Miku-Kagami and Mio). I don't bring all at the same time, usually just 1-2 just in case the opportunity would come up that I can do a quick shoot with them reacting to their environment. This was my first public figure shooting (even though it was near closing and there wasn't a lot of people around to wonder what the hell I was doing. I can't figure yet how to break that embarrassment barrier yet...).
