That is a bit irksome

You plot, plan to get a certain photograph. You creep and sneak to get the right angle. You have your camera waiting because you know the opportunity will be brief.

The fortunes are with you and you get it.

Then you have some arbitrary person dismiss and diminish your works as a 'snapshot'.

Continuous shooting mode works well

Especially when trying to get a moving subject. You figure you will get at least one usable image. But you end up with a lot of detritus and duplicates.

Been slogging through the photographs taken at the Perth Zoo, and I have been brutal with the deletions. Also, seeing the RAW results, I was considering shooting in RAW only, but not all graphics programs recognize the Canon 550D raw format yet.

Gone but never forgotten.

My sister would have been 52 years old today.

I still miss her, and always will.

Keito, a close up

It’s difficult to get a good photograph of Keito, as he seems to think a camera being pointed at him is a signal to come over to you. This time, though, I used a Lumix FS42 to get right up next to him.
