This morning before we had to set up our table at Southwestern, Kyoshi and I went to the zoo! \u00a0Jay Miller had told me it was a fantastic zoo and it sure was!!! \u00a0they had a great reptile house and I had been wanting to do some serious close-up work, but was worried about shooting through glass! \u00a0I 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!! \u00a0I will share a few shots and then \u00a0I will show a 100% crop, that is the original file at 100%!!!! \u00a0as I have below of the shot at the top. \u00a0If you want to get a good look at them just click on the image to enlarge it!! \u00a0I wa really pleased athow well the tecnique worked, hope you enjoy the images.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lots of fun, and not that hard to do! \u00a0Just takes a little patience, a tripod and careful technique!<\/span><\/p>\n
