Really wonderful Craiger! Stupid question but.. are you shooting in raw?

@amy: No, I only shoot in .jpg . I had a canon d60 SLR that shot in RAW format. It was a wonderful camera that had incredable functionality. But, on my last trip to Bangkok I left it at home because it and all it's attachments were so heavy. When I arrived in Bangkok I was so disappointed not to have a camera with me, I vowed never to let that happen again. I theorized what good is a camera if it is so heavy you leave it at home. When I got home, I sold the canon and bought this little Sony H5 and have not regreted it since. However, I may buy a medium format SLR to use as a studio camera. :0) P.S. It is not a stupid question!

You have not only captured the animal's image, I do believe you got his personality as well. I find myself hoping his dreams are good and that they will come true.

You've done the Sac Zoo some real justice.

Wow, this series impressed me, last time I went to the zoo I got some nice pics but nothing quite like these with the lighting. Guess It pays to go on a more sunny day or something.
