In my previous post, I mentioned that it has been a long time since I went to the zoo. And this was also the first time that I was worried that I wouldn’t have any good shots from the trip. It was a weird feeling because I usually have a few in mind that I can scream “oh yes!” but this trip, that didn’t happen as I reviewed the pics in cam.

I went out to see the tigers, and in the end I shot a swan, an emu’s eyes, a lion (not shown here), a giraffe and an elephant.

Surprisingly, after looking through the images on the Macbook, I had a lot more wows than I thought I could have. And I have to say that this wasn’t such a bad day after all.

I got the eye shot which I was aiming for, although it is still not a crocodile. Perhaps the next time I go, I’ll go find a friendly croc.

I got yet another elephant shot which was similar to a B&W shot I got but this time I decided that the elephant deserved a bit of colour.

And finally, a shot that I thought was unique for the giraffe. I have seen and photograph a lot of giraffe in the zoo and I was really trying to aim for something different. I got a lot of head shots but it was just another giraffe shot. I hope that you found this to be different as well :)

And I guess this is it. It was a good trip to the zoo after all. Oh, and Selamat Hari Raya to my Muslim readers and to the others, enjoy the break. I know I will :)
