Cool pix lady! I guess all those amazing things in Seattle are the trade off for no sun. I'm still very envious.
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I could take photos like that. My zoo pictures are lame in comparison. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I guess I picked good WW pictures today. Thank you all for your kind words. I am very much an amatuer at this. I am a learn as I go kind of gall so am learning tricks as I go. A good lens is worth its weight in gold. Lighting is super important. I try not to use the flash. My next purchase (eventually) is editing software. Thanks again everyone!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pics Patricia!!! I absolutely love the photo of the gorilla's hand! I'm having some major lens envy right now... :)
