Zoo Visits

Zoo's are a great place to take the camera. I'm a regular visitor to the Melbourne Zoo, I'm also a 'Friend of the Zoo' member, which allows me unlimited access. This is also a great way to support the zoo. I've been to many Zoo's around the world, San Diego, Melbourne, Taronga (Sydney), Tokyo, Singapore and Australia Zoo, to name a few. I'm posting a few photos that I really like. They were all taken at Melbourne Zoo except the Gorilla and her baby which was taken at Tokyo Zoo.

Digital Photography & Design Magazine

Digital Photography & Design magazine ran a photo competition in the June/July edition of the magazine with the theme of black & white.

 

I entered the competition with a photo I took in Japan. I was very excited when I brought the magazine and saw my photo had made it into a select group that were published. The photo is of Osaka Castle (Osaka, Japan). I shot this in using the Monochrome setting. I was using my Canon EOS 50D, using a Canon 10-22mm lens, which is my favorite lens.  I made some minor adjustments in Adobe Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS4.
