M8 at the Miami Metrozoo

[etrigan63]

As I have two children (ages 10 & 7) our weekend social calendar is usually filled with birthdays. This weekend we attended one at the Miami Metrozoo. One of the other Dads was there with his Canon 5D + 500mm lens and I with my M8 + 75mm Color-Heliar. Here is a sample and a link to the photo set on Flickr.

C&C always welcome.

Shots are generally uncropped ( a couple were cropped a tiny bit to remove extraneous stuff ) and little or no post processing Lightroom. I am really digging the improvements from the new firmware.

All of the shots were from a moving tram BTW.

Nice Pachyderm!

Shooting from a moving tram can't have been easy with a rangefinder. Well done.

In honor of large mammals everywhere, I offer this sleeping Rhino who lives at the San Antonio zoo.

Nice zoo shots. I just took this one at the Phoenix zoo with my Canon. Bornean Orangutans--Bess (Mother) and Kasih (2 year old female).

That's a beautiful shot of the Orangutans, Cindy.

Well you know the old saying: "F/8 and be there."

Following the theme of large mammals here is the African Elephant:
