Last weekend we took a quick trip to the zoo with some friends who were in town for a visit.
We met there around 9:00 and I'm so glad we did because by
the time we were ready to head out, it was getting packed! (Spring breakers!)

 |
| They've always had giraffes but now they've built a ledge with an area to feed them. Unreal! |
 |
| Beckett wasn't afraid to give them a snack! |
 |
| Rae wasn't so sure about it, but she fed them too! |
 |
| I haven't seen the gorillas since this exhibit opened! It's truly amazing to watch them stretch and move around. |
 |
| Cutie, Miss Rae! |
 |
| Tickle Monster! |
 |
| Trying to get them to hug eachother was a hoot. Luckily, I took so many pictures, you almost get the video version..... |
 |
 |
| Assuming he's gonna get a kiss by the looks of that pucker.... |
 |
| She's moving in.....he's not so sure what she's up to... |
 |
| Here it comes..... |
 |
| Nope, just a hug! No kisses today. |
 |
| Such sweet new friends! |
 |
| My handsome man. Growing up so very, very fast! Happy Wednesday! |
Hey! I'm curious, what kind of camera do you use, and do you use different lenses or just your kit lens?
ReplyDeleteHey Courtney, it's a Canon 60D and I usually use a 50mm when I'm taking pictures of Beckett. It's a fantastic portrait lens.

I have the Canon T1i, which I love. I've also got the same "nifty fifty" 1.8 lens that you have and I love it too. I got a Sigma 70-300mm zoom lens last year, but I honestly haven't used it that much. I got Photoshop Elements in December, installed it, then never used it! Ugh, I'm so bad about that! I looked it over and immediately felt overwhelmed and never tried it again.
DeleteThanks, I was curious what you use because I love your pictures!
Get the Photoshop Elements book I mention in the post. It's fantastic and gives you step by step instructions for what you're looking to fix/edit. It makes things much less intimidating.
