1st attempt @ Zoological Gardens

voltron2000 · 3rd March 2008

Hi All,

First time trying and this shot was taken at the Singapore Zoological Gardens.

Shot was taken on EOS 300D with the following settings :
Shutter - 1/60 secs
Aperture - F6.3
ISO - 800
Focal Length - 130mm
No Flash

No editting done on the pic other than resizing, adding border and signature.

C&C are most welcomed. Please advise on how to capture similar, with more sharper and vibrant colours. Thank you in advance.

Looks like focus is on it's shoulder; should be on the eye. Color saturation is too low. Fence in the background creates a distracting pattern.

always try to capture at eye level and the best wld be to get a frontal view. only try back view if u want smth artistic but u need a much closer-up perspective. and in b&w.

try upping the contrast and saturation now.. looks alittle dull.
