Day out - trying to remember how to use a camera

[Portland]

First use of DSLR in anger, first time using a viewfinder in mebbe 15 years, and the focussing goes the "wrong way"

Lot to remember/learn/improve, but I'd forgotten how much fun blazing away with even a crappy SLR is...

They are all great but that smiling goat... i just loved that picture.

And another day out - more pics. Foolishly handheld a 70-300 in mainly crappy light. No crops, no fiddling, and if photobucket isn't behaving, probably no titles either.

As mentioned in other thread, Yorkshire Wildlife Park is a good day/half day out for not a lot of quids. You also have lemurs come and try to steal any food you foolishly bring into their enclosure - think less aggressive and more amusing Barbary Apes on Gib'

is giving me a dramatic feeling specially on the lions and tiger pictures. It reminds me when it gets very dark, right before a tropical storm, i mean a storm in the tropics.
