Another set from the Detroit Zoo
Aug 1, 2018 12:18:59 #
I missed the Concurs d'Elegance Car Show here but I did make it to the zoo. A beautiful day but a lot of the animals I wanted did not cooperate for pics. I did get these but they took some light to medium Photoshopping. Let me know if they're too dark, too light, etc.
- Gray Crowned Crane
- South American Flamingo
- Some kind of strange amphibian
- Tree Frogs
- Another Frog
- A Young Chimp profile
Thanks

I can see that now. That's why I like to post images here. The Gray Crowned Crane looks a little too purple too.

To me they are a little on the dark side, but still very nice set.

Great set! I absolutely love your flamingo and chimp - really nicely done - can tell they are pp'd but very tastefully and artfully done. As far as too dark...maybe for viewing but probably not for printing.

I like them just the way they are. Personally, I think the first frog(?) is the best of the set.

My technique for shooting critters behind glass like the frogs is to get the macro lens up against the glass and the flash on a cord the same way and shoot at f22 and let TTL take care of the exposure. However, last week I was told not to use flash on some of the frogs who may be nocturnal. That would end future shots of the frogs from me with this technique. However, nothing was said about not using flash in the Reptile House. Using flash is also why the backgrounds go black too.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Great portraits of animals. These do not look taken in zoo.

All well done images. The chimp is especially nice. So good, in fact, I initially thought it was my representative in Congress.
