Happy Mother's Day!

Pin-Up Model Contest

May 9th, 2010

First of all, Mom, I love you, and “Happy Mother’s Day!” to you and all you other moms out there.

I recently bought a new camera. I am not a photographer, I have zero understanding of proper lighting, ISO (whatever the heck that is), or even, the best angles to use. The Memphis Zoo has started a photo contest to help create their 2011 Zoo Calendar. I thought, heck, I can focus, point and shoot – maybe I’ll get lucky. Here are entries into three of the 12 categories – I’ll have to return to establish the other nine as the point and shoot didn’t go so well… Anyway, how do these look?

And my favorite shot of the day;

None of these photos should be offensive, and are approved for display on board any co-ed command. :)

    They are all good photos, but I love the chillin’ gorilla! Did the mynah bird talk?

    AV,

    Thanks! The mynah and I had a long conversation, incredibly, about the recent election in the UK :)

    Thanks Mom – I forgive you for making me eat brussel sprouts as a child. There, we have closure.

    Heh….. the gorilla looks like he just woke up in the Goat Locker. He’s got that “this had better be important” look, doesn’t he?
