Trying to go through some of my piles of photos. I know I said I'd get the PAX ones up and at some point I wanted to get the rest from my trip to Japan, but Tumblr's 10 image limit is kind of hindering that unless I want to spam everyone with like 10 posts in a row. I will at least do a "Favorite PAX Cosplays" post at some point in the very near future, hopefully.
Anyway, here are some birds at the zoo. Look at that eagle being majestic as hell. He knows he's a badass. I did not bring my telephoto lens with me so these are cropped, which I hardly ever do with my photos because I prefer to do as much compositional arranging as possible before taking the shot. I know for subjects I can't actually get close to it is necessary, but it still feels weird to do it. I'm trying to put some money aside for a new telephoto lens that's lighter, sharper, and has a better range than my current one, as well, so bringing it with me when I go out won't be so much of a pain.
Dippin' Dots are still awesome, by the way, if horrifically overpriced. It was stupid hot that day and I had extra cash on me so I stopped caring the moment I saw the booth, haha.
