Let's all go to the zoo

[lorcani]

My dad and little brother decided to take a trip down to the zoo, so I let them borrow my camera. They took better shots than me! I'll blame the light.

Powershot A95, probably auto mode.

Seal!

Tiger!

Giraffe! (oh my)

Goat!

Lorikeets!

I really like these pictures. The nice light, the nice subjects. I had a good picture of a toucan, but it was taken through mesh (which kind of spoiled it). If anyone wants to see it, I'll post it later.

cool subjects, except all of them, possible excluding the tiger shot, seem overblown....

There are no fences at that zoo.

Hehe, nice pics.

heh.. i thought it was my monitor for a second there myself!
they do seem somewhat overexposed, but nothing that couldn't be easily fixed with a little auto-levels or brightness/contrast adjustment. otherwise, great shots.

Yeah, they were shot on auto mode in bright light, so I assume that's where some of it comes from.

I don't think the goat is that overblown either?

jayjaya29: the tigers may be dangerous, but the toucans are what you have to watch out for.

If you have access to Photoshop or something similar, here's the difference just running "Auto Levels" and doing some WB correction can make. The colors are perhaps a bit much, but you could tweak that if you wanted.

Compare:

It seems odd to me that the camera's exposure computer couldn't compensate appropriately for the bright light.
