The incredible beauty and variety of God's creatures is astounding.This and the following posting were taken in the large enclosure that leads up to the indoor tropical bird displays (where the previous two were captured). I thought it was going to be a bonanza of an opportunity, but discovered that it was still too dark to be totally carefree. In fact, only a handful of pictures were taken in this area due to slow shutter speeds caused by the constraints of the lens on the Big Cahoona. Flash did help in some, but I'm a long way from mastering the usage of even the built-in that is featured on the D300.
I have a friend named Ed that traded his slower glass for a nice, new 600mm job that let in a whole lot more light, and can now see why...
