This great little zoo turned out to be a much better photo opportunity
than I expected. Both cameras got a good workout here.
Stylus 300 digicam. The show was a good opportunity to photograph some animal behavior.
Stylus 300 digicam. Feeding time was another great photo opportunity. Dusty brown tortoises sitting around doing nothing won't make a great photo, but chowing down on a nice hunk of watermelon can make even a tortoise become an interesting subject.
Stylus 300 digicam. The flamingos provided another great photo opportunity with good colors, a nice habitat and enough behavior to reward the patient photographer.
Stylus 300 digicam. Hissy fit !! Every once in a while these otherwise calm birds would ruffle up their feathers and honk in each other's faces. I'm not sure if this was fighting behavior, mating behavior, or both.
Stylus 300 digicam. The birds and the sandy island both look overexposed with bleached colors in the afternoon harsh sunlight.
X-370 filmcam. I'm not sure that these pictures were taken at the same time of day, but it looks like the filmcam got the better exposure and more realistic colors.
X-370 filmcam. Red panda. This
perky,
cute little guy was frisking around all over its beautiful habitat. The
shade of a big tree provided perfect lighting conditions even in
midafternoon when the direct sunlight was pretty harsh out on the
flamingo pond. I took 6 film pictures here, but now I wish that I had
also taken dozens of additional pictures with the digicam.
