Took the wife and kiddo to the Fort Worth zoo yesterday. They had a sign on the cashier's window saying that the herpitorium is closed until a new exhibit opens in Feb 2010. Pissed me off, I always love taking pics of snakes and lizards and frogs and stuff! Also decided I need a new lens. My Quantaray 70-300mm has been a good lens for the last 15 years, but its taking forever to focus, and pics taken at anything greater than about 80mm have a very washed-out, contrasty look. I'm doing waaaaaaaay too much Photoshop touching up. Anyhoozle...here's a few shots that either came out okay, or were salvageable via Photoshop.
