Fort Worth Zoo + Photoshop


Miniature lioness?


Toy mandrill baboon??

Nope, these are all real using a fake tilt-shift effect on photoshop I found out how to do on youtube.  It's just a little lens blur effect.  Anyway, these pics were taken at the Fort Worth Zoo about a month ago using my old trusty D70s.  The FW Zoo by the way is awesome.  I would say quality-wise, it's better than the San Diego wild animal park.  I know, that's a pretty bold statement but it's a very well funded and maintained zoo.  My favorite part is this aviary full of parakeets - you go in there and buy a stick with some seeds attached.  The birds just flock to you and start eating the seeds standing on the stick.  Just really awesome.
