I went to the Henry Doorley Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, NE yesterday! Anthony Calfo (big SW god/d00d) gave a couple speeches and whatnot there... it was really good, and I learned a lot... and I got a bunch of pictures

Some funky kind of anemone


Rhinopias It's worth somewhere around $1000 I heard


Some funky fish that I have no idea on the name


Some kind of bird


Closeup of a big (~15') tall cactus


Some sort of lizard (forgot the name)


Some funky critter...


Closeup of a big lionfish


That's all I've got edited/resized so far... I've got a couple other really nice shots that I still need to get done, but I thought I'd get these up first

Another guy that I was with brought his Canon 10D and got some really incredible shots that he's going to try to sell to the zoo (and make posters of for himself and others, too). I'll see if I can link you guys to some of his pictures too

Ya know, I HATE photobucket's rule on automatically resizing photos over 250kb

So yea...the small pics are supposed to be full size too...

The bird is an American kestrel... (I'm pretty sure the small undulate is a klipspringer)

Really nice pics!

Yup, that's what it is, I remember now. Thanks

Some kind of snake (I forgot, again) under blacklight.
Focal length: 9.3mm

Cute l'il sleepin' fox
Focal length: 21.0mm
Exposure time: 0.0020 s (1/500)

Theres some very nice pics, the lizard you forgot was an indonesian/australian water dragon.

Yea, git, that's it! I was thinking it was either 'Austrailian Water Dragon' or something else that I couldn't remember

Thanks

I love it. I'd say the big orange and white thing is the coolest.

Grunt sculpin.

oh, and the 'kritter' is a dik dik or somehting like that..i know what it is exactly, but ... cant think of it

anyway, they are very small deer

As I already said, the "critter" is a klipspringer... it is a small antelope.

Klipspringer sounds familiar... I think that might be it...

T'anks for the replies, peoples

It does not have the elongated nose nor the lightset body structure of the dik dik. It is a klipspringer.

ditto on the klipspringer

I was kinda hoping for some feedback/comments/suggestions on the pics, lisa

BTW, I've decided to get a D-SLR even if my wallet will hate me for the rest of my life. What do you think of the Canon 10D? There's an auto mode if I get lazy or have trouble... but it's a decent enough camera, methinks. What do you think?

hey, i choose NEVER to comment on photos UNLESS they ask for it.

Aiite, then I'm asking, "Any comments/suggestions/feedback/constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated, thanks!"

How's dat?

ok then. I'll start off slowly for ya...

resize your photos so they aren't as huge. Even on my screen I have to scroll

I made them that big because I'm going to be posting them up as backgrounds on DeviantArt.com...but I suppose I could resize them to something decent like 1280x1024 or something?

Aside from that, what do you think of the composition of them? I know that some of them are a bit off (I don't like the one of the funky fish, and a couple others),but I think that most of them are rather decent/alright. Any comments/suggestions/constructive criticism on that?

Also, how do you think I should get the bubble streaks out on the lionfish closeup? I basically followed the fish with the camera when I took the shot, so the few bubbles in there are blurred and almost look like scratches. I tried to use the blur thing in CS2 to make them less noticable, but I'd like to make them darker... got any suggestions on that?

Thanks :dp
