Pictures from Dublin Zoo

[Oggie]

Went to the Zoo the other day and thought I would post some of the pics on here, for anyone who is interested.
Sadly, the one day I chose to go, the Gorillas (My favourites) were locked away awaiting transfer to their new enclosure...
A few others like the Chimpanzees, Elephants, Lions and Leopards were all mostly out of view too, and the pictures weren't worth posting.
But anyway!

Sulawesi Crested Macaques:


Sumatran Tiger:

Siamang Gibbon:

That is a nice camera. About a year ago I bought my uncles old Nikon D50, and while I really like it, I'd like to upgrade to something newer at some point.

These are great shots...

By any chance did you enhance any of these pics or are they as taken meaning you've done nothing to them aside from adding the frame?

Amazing shots I thought Killersheeps and mine we're awesome yours blow ours out of the water...

Thank you for sharing really enjoyed the pics.

The camera I have is a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS.

Thanks man.
The first picture and the last two are HDR shots, which is a technique of taking three or more pictures of the same scene at different exposures. When you combine them in a program like Photomatix, it can provide a better representation of what the human eye saw, instead of the camera lens. As you probably know, if you are shooting into a sunny sky, you are usually left with either (A) a perfect representation of the sky, but dark and silhouetted trees, people, or whatever else happens to be in the foreground, or (B) the opposite. HDR corrects that by combining the exposure for each shot.
The rest of the images are pretty much untouched, except for some cropping, rotation etc...

Nice pictures, I like the first one best.

Thank you, glad you liked them.

Yeah love them, great work,post card quality, the Zoo would surely buy a wad of that first one, its a classic.

[Youngblood]

Damn dude. Great pics. You have both a good camera and great eye to go with it. Look forward to seeing more.

I am the future, what with my extravagant technology and such...

Hattonthehammer sounds like the name of a gay porno starring Ricky Hatton.
