they can run from 0-70mph in 3 SECONDS!

• If you couldn't tell by now, I love animals! Went back to the zoo just to see the new exhibit... It was super rainy and wet! The cheetah actually got really close to the glass, it's breath fogged up the glass 1 inch away from my lens :O

Zoo was really good practice for correct exposure - animals were in all sorts of lighting conditions inside and out... started using AEB at the end but didn't quite do it right so that didn't help. Also was shooting in Tv (shutter speed priority) most of the time, but forgot to factor in 1.6x crop factor to focal length, so some of the pictures are a little blurry when viewed full-size because i was too lazy to use a tripod and messed up my calculations a bit. All-in-all i got some good pictures though. Animals are awesome. ^^ Don't forget to thank Jehovah for the animals! :)
