Seeing all these awesome pics really makes me realize I need to get out and shoot more. Got any zoo pics? I would like to give that a try some time...

No zoo ones yet, actually we haven't even been to the zoos in texas and I've been here for almost 3 years now. Which one is better to go to fort worth or dallas?

I'd recommend AGAINST buying from people on forums. Even if you buy through paypal, it's not 100% guaranteed. And definitely DON'T EVER sell a lens online and have the transaction go through PAYPAL. I've already been hosed for $1,100.

I catch as much as possible on camera, these last ones I just posted I just changed them to black and white and filled a little of the shadows in the wheels. The reflection was there the lens flares were from the sun just before it went down.

Shane, what were the settings you used for those shots?

[StormTrooper]

Most of the settings I took that day for the last shots were:
ISO: 100
F Stop: 5.6
Shutter: 125
