Birds at the Dallas Zoo

[PaulSage]

All of these photos were taken by my brother, Mike (Guybrush Threepwood).

This isn't a bird, but I thought it was a pretty cool picture:

I have to admit I like the bee shot the best. He must have a sweet camera.

Great pictures! That bee is pretty cool!

WOW! Those shots are awesome! What were you shooting with?

I like the bee shot the best, and the third one sort of looks like it could be on a postcard. great images!

He has a Canon 5D (I think... all I know is that I could never afford it and it doesn't have a built-in flash. lol). It was hard to get decent pictures in there because most everything was in dimly lit enclosures behind netting or fencing of some sort. All of the bird pictures except for the one of the macaws were actually taken through glass.

Very nice images Mike and thanks for showing them Paul.

Shooting through glass is tricky and these images are very nice for those conditions.

I want everyone to know that it's the person behind the camera who takes the nice images, not the camera. Sure a carpenter can drive nails better with the greatest hammer, but that hammer in the hands of an unskilled person won't necessarily drive nails good

Then you had better stop talking crap about Paul to him! ....LOL...J/K

Those are some really great pictures! I especially like the Bee one as well.

Guybrush Threepwood? from the Monkey Island series? I'm still waiting for the 5th installment which never came out.

It is the person behind the camera that makes for a great photo

Paul-Thanks so much for sharing!!
