These are my entries into the Steemit Photo Challenge #60 for the theme "Animal Portrait." I took these photos during a trip to a wildlife reserve/safari park in Glen Rose, Texas. All three were taken with a Nikon D50. I hope you enjoy them!
Edit: I just replaced the link on entry #1, I realized I had uploaded a cropped version to imgur. I reuploaded the full-size version and fixed the link in my post below. All three now should be the full-size versions, exactly as they came off of my camera. I haven't done any color correcting or histogram post-processing on these.
Entry #1: "Oh, the Places You'll Go"
F-stop: f/5.6 - Shutter speed: 1/1000 sec. - Focal length: 300mm - No Flash
Entry #2: "Seer"
F-stop: f/4.8 - Shutter speed: 1/800 sec. - Focal length: 170mm - No Flash
Entry #3: "The Hypnotist"
F-stop: f/4 - Shutter speed: 1/1000 sec. - Focal length: 70mm - No Flash
I'm not sure how steemit handles resizing photos for posts, so I've also uploaded the full-size images here if you'd like to see them. Thanks to @jamtaylor for the contest, and I hope you like my entries!
