03/28/09, Safari Land Park, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. Kind of exciting for me--always choosing rather remote places to live, I have never had the occasion to visit a "real" zoo since I got into photography a few years ago. Found this small one hidden in the countryside. Actually, the zoo isn't quite up to par, but this is the first time I've been able to photograph a giraffe!
Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/640 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 48.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D

Lovely detail in this capture, Susan!!! I DO appreciate you artsy ones & understand your frustration. BTW, it was your birds that inspired me to set up feeders near my windows. Now that's about all that I photograph. #7580390
