Just wanted to put something up here for my early morning readers. Heather, Gillian and I spend the day at the Zoo on Sunday for Heather's Birthday, and just to spend time together. It was a perfect day to go. Sunny, no humididty, and not very many peop.....no wait, there were a ton of people there. It was...well a Zoo.... There were a lot of animals out and Gillian was even awake and looking at a few, but not to many. Her next trip will be better, and it might be sooner then later. You see as any photographer will tell you, if you change your ISO setting, don't forget to change it back, well I didn't change mine back. So over 1/3 of my "keepers" are all shot at 800 ISO, which for you no-photographers, it is the equivenlent to very high speed flim, used to shoot in low light. Makes the picture just a little grainy, and I did not notice it as I was picking keepers and trash, but as I went back I thought, "man some of the dark areas are pretty grainy...awww crap!" Yep at that moment I went back and over 70 images are all shot in 800. So I will do my best to salvage them, but I am not expecting a lot. This image was one I shot at ISO 200 (bright light film), and came out great. Will post more later on today, if I can get anything to work with me.
