Hi Flexers, While visiting Miss O in Calgary we took her to the zoo. I only took the newly acquired Nikon D800E and the Nikkor 50mm f1.4 because I had it in my mind I would only be taking of grand daughter Olive and not much else. And I did some of that. Here's Miss O staring at the fish in the Hippo tank. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/O_Fishw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/d57skk8 And here she is having her raw veggie snack: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/MissOw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/ctx536e If you look large at this one the skin texture is amazing. In the Butterfly House there was a symphony of butterflies flying freely. I didn't have a macro lens so I just got as close as I could and then cropped to fill the screen with this Owl Butterfly: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/OwlButterflyw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/95pymhm And the zoo has a family of Siberian Tigers and thoughtfully provides glass windows in the cage wire to allow unobstructed views: Here's Momma Tiger and her three cubs, about 4 months old, taken with the Nikkor 50 on the D800E at a distance: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/TigersLSw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/8lng2al Since I hadn't thought to bring a longer lens I cropped to get the closer view - the power of 36Mp!! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2012/4Tigersw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/bocsjep Please look large. C&C always welcome.
