I went to the zoo this past weekend also.

Here are my favorite shots. We went to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo in Thurmont, MD and it poured down raining the whole time. I liked the zoo, so I walked around in it and just got soaked. There were spurts without rain so I got some pictures. Alot of the 100+ took didnt turn out or were just &quot;snapshot worthy&quot; as these might look also, so I didnt even bother posting them. </p>

<p>I know the focus is off, but MF is hard on a P&amp;S and a moving target. I still like it.</p>

<p>For some odd reason, the things thatr are infront of the lens when the camera is off, they didnt open fully. Imagine it not there. <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif" border="0" alt="" title="LOL" smilieid="25" class="inlineimg" /></p>

<p>It can get quite frustrating shooting thru bars. Again, if at all possible, picture it not there. <img src="http://thephotoforum.com/forum/images/smilies/lol.gif" border="0" alt="" title="LOL" smilieid="25" class="inlineimg" /> (again)</p>

<p>EDIT: The only pp involved with these shots was a contrast boost on the 1st and 3rd ones.</p>
