Zoo - Finale

Posted by Graham Russon (Cape Town, South Africa) on 22 May 2009 in Animal & Insect.

One of the snakes at the zoo, this guy was behind glass, with bad lighting. I used a technique picked up shooting fish in a tank, which is a high ISO with a fast shutter. A bit of processing in PS, I had to sacrifice more noise in the foreground, to get the head sharp and crisp. Came out OK.

Crocodile update
I phoned the zoo, and they confirmed that my crocodile is indeed a crocodile, native to Africa.
