I took the R3 and went to the zoo yesterday. It was only the second time after breaking my arm I had even tried to carry and lift the camera. It weighs about 7 pounds. The day started out pretty well, but I soon realized that this was going to be difficult - even painful. I ended up not shooting very much.
Very nice photos, Kathy!

Wow! I LOVE the tiger pictures. I too went to the zoo recently and I never broke my arm; my wife decided she'd represent the family with a broken wrist a few years ago. Anyhow, point I'm making, I was carrying my Nikon Z8 with just a 24-70 attached to it and I ALSO was getting pretty tired after a few hours. So, you are not alone. BTW, did I mention that I LOVE the tiger pics?
I hate to correct you, but it's a jaguar, not a tiger. But yes, he posed so beautifully. I told him thank you. Thanks. That day showed me just how out of shape I am thanks to a month of inactivity.

I'm glad you corrected me. The Jaguar is such a beautiful animal. On my trip to the zoo, I think I (& friends from photo club) must have walked around 10+ miles. Whew, I think on my next trip, I'll take the tram option which will get me closer to some of the animals and, of course, me sitting :).

Interesting how his eye color is the same as his coat!
I have lots of pictures of this guy. His eye colour seems to change with the light. But here they do match nicely. Sometimes they're almost green.

I rode our tram once. Good for seeing, but not for shooting.

Thanks, LeRoy. I'm working on the arm, but I also like doing my normal stuff!

Thank you very much, Joe. That jaguar is always a favorite of mine. This is one of the best pictures, I think.
