KC Zoo

[Fotografer]

Went a couple of weekends ago with a KC Meetup Group. Unfortunately, it was a gorgeous sunny day! But I did manage to get a few OK shots... my first "zoo shoot"...

 

1. Meerkat

 

2. White Handed Gibbon. This one was tough, as they were all behind a thick plate of glass/plexi. I got rid of the haze, but the green hue just won't go away no matter what I try with color balancing. My GIMP/PP skills are pretty basic, though, so any suggestions here are appreciated.

 

3. Gorilla - a few of us tried everything we could do to avoid the bright spots on his fur, but it was hopeless. Any fixing I could do in PP only made the shadows black (Definitely open to help here - I have the original pic in RAW). Grr. Nevertheless, he posed for us for about 10 minutes.

 

4. Leopard - again, with the shadows. The lighting could have been rather pretty, but the difference between the light & dark spots was just too drastic for me to be able to balance the photo well.

 

5. aaaaaand back to the meerkats
