St Louis Zoo

We went to the St Louis Zoo today and i took my a200 of course. I used my Quantaray LD 70-300 lens in a Landscape creative style and i took all the photos in 16:9 HD Aspect Ratio. 

I took 469 photos of all the different areas in the Zoo. IF you ever are in St Louis, i strongly suggest going and visiting there.  The great thing about the zoo is that all you pay for is the parking and it costs $10.

No fee is charged for entering the zoo and if you can find parking, your trip costs nothing. I had to park on the street and it was FREE!!!

Cicada 1


Cicada 1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I was in the kitchen last night and looked at the door leading to our deck when i saw this Cicada. I went to grab my camera and set it up to do some Macro shots at night using the flash. I enabled the 180-300mm Macro function and placed the camera in "Manual" on Night Mode to get a few of the shots of the bug.
Here is the Wikipedia link to the bug: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada

Exposure: 0.008 sec (1/125)
