In a tunnel underneath the seal enclosure at Colchester Zoo, UK
I know this is yet another unpolished photo (see my last few), but it makes me smile everytime I look at it. The seal really liked my brother!

i love the graphic look of this, well done. but find the sharpening halos distracting
Thanks! We were at a river where there were some flat rocks out in the water, so I have some pictures of them sitting together on those rocks. You might see some of those later. I didn't use any flash. I'm trying to figure out how to effectively use the pop-up flash. I don't have the money for an external right now.
CC is welcomed.
Creative use of lighting....moody and effective. My eyes are practically walked to the people by the backlighting, the pillars on both sides, and the electric lights on the ceiling. Well done!

How exactly do you go about getting a shot like that? I'm new to this photography stuff.
Bright light coming in directly facing the camera with natural building lighting. With the distance I was from the light, it naturally gave a dark photo. The only post processing done was the "Aged Photo" Preset in Lightroom + a slight crop to make it even & centered.
Maxxamillian - thx for the CC. Very encouraging. I didn't set out to take that shot on purpose. Just happened in the moment because I wondered what kind of photo I would get in a dark place with bright coming directly at me. My photo shows that experimenting pays.
Murray Reynolds Falls, Ricketts Glen State Park, PA.
Nice to see the effect with the waterfall. What was your shutter speed, compuwar?

Your zoo shots are quite expressive, and bring a smile to my face as well
yah EXIF Viewer update!
I was pleased to note that the Firefox plugin, EXIF Viewer was updated today
It sure makes it easier to check out the the camera settings of uploaded images!

Big weekend for firsts, I shot my first real wedding as a second shooter on Saturday and my first engagement session on Sunday. Below is a frame from the engagement session.

No offense, but HDR like that is...horrible. Shadows and so forth are there for a reason. HDR images all seem to come out around 18% grey. With that shot I'd have much preferred to see some dynamic and interesting lighting, and interplay with the waterfall.
