...animal photography? I went to the Philadelphia Zoo today to take advantage of the 65 degree weather and to put my new camera to use! This is my first time photographing animals, and let me say that it is no fun walk in the park. It can be very very frustrating. I had many problems, probably because I wasn't that familar with my camera because I got in on Xmas. Here's a tip, be patient when shooting animals, because they won't turn around for you. And for some reason a lot of my pictures turned out blurry. It was hard for me to control my settings because my family wanted to move on and I just was trying to figure out the right settings, lol. But yeah, it was pretty hard.

oh yeah, I only did minor editing with the pictures. I wanted to keep them as natural as possible. I just fixed some brightness and contrast to help the image out a bit.
