Back to Manila Zoo After 2 decades

Last Sunday we went to Manila Zoo, Its 2 decades since i last went there... It was only last night that i have time Cropping and adjusting the levels of my shots....

Here are some lessons that i've learned

1. I finally tried shooting at f3.5 apperture and with a zoom lense, it actually remove the Bars from the cages (see Pictures Below)... Thanks Manual hehehe...


2. Shooting at burst mode when not using a tripod actually helps in getting sharper images, If for example i have 7 shots, more or less 3 will be sharper than the others....


3. Patience is a virture.... If you dont have patience you cant get what you need... Look at the owl... it took me almost 15 minutes waiting for it to look into me...


4. Smile is your secret weapon. If you want to get shots of children or people you dont know. Learn how to smile and you'll be surprised you'll make new friends.....


Here are my favorite shots.....
