This morning before we had to set up our table at Southwestern, Kyoshi and I went to the zoo!  Jay Miller had told me it was a fantastic zoo and it sure was!!!  they had a great reptile house and I had been wanting to do some serious close-up work, but was worried about shooting through glass!  I have been using a new technique for me, using live view to do critical focusing manually in close-up work. I always use manual focus in close-up photography and this system worked wonderfully at the reptile facility at the Fort Worth Zoo!!  I will share a few shots and then  I will show a 100% crop, that is the original file at 100%!!!!  as I have below of the shot at the top.  If you want to get a good look at them just click on the image to enlarge it!!  I wa really pleased athow well the tecnique worked, hope you enjoy the images.

Lots of fun, and not that hard to do!  Just takes a little patience, a tripod and careful technique!
