Photos from London Zoo. I took about a hundred photos that day - oh the joys of a digital camera - and I'm convinced this is the path to better pictures: throw away 80% of what you take (or more). I've not tweaked the colour of any of these (apart from the gorilla/boy one), but for some reason they're really vivid anyway. Maybe a combination of not using a flash and the really bad light that day meant that everything had to be exposed for longer and become more saturated? I don't know enough about photography really. Anyway, I'm particularly pleased with the iguana, the close-up blue fish, and of course of the penguins. Penguins rock.
