I spent last Friday on photo safari at the Bronx Zoo. Basically, this means I took the big camera (Nikon D40) to the Zoo and just shot whatever caught my fancy. I took almost 850 photos in the course of the day, then weeded out the ones that were blurry (unless I really, really loved the subject), or were similar to another but had worse composition (unless I was trying to show a series of actions). I posted the remaining 330 or so to Flickr today, and the results of that are below. These are SOOC – Straight Out Of Camera, which means I didn’t Photoshop them at all, mostly because I have no Photoshop skillz and it takes me forever to do even the simplest things with the copy of Elements I own. I did get some awesome shots through trial and error. The album is below if you want to check it out.

Tomorrow is another Friday off from work, since we’re on four-day workweeks right now, and I’ll be spending it at Governor’s Island out in New York Harbor. Hoping to do a mini-photo safari with the little camera (Nikon Coolpix), but we’ll see how long it takes me to upload those – I’ve got pictures on that camera from the beginning of June and haven’t done a photo dump yet. So, enjoy what I’ve got here, it might be a bit before the next ones go up!
