Well I survived the zoo trip. Both of the guys I went with gave me all kinds of hell for taking all my camera gear & swapping out lenses. One quit when he realized his point & shoot didn't have the reach he wanted. The other quit after getting a look at the photos later that evening on a laptop. Actually I think they just wanted to hassle me about my hobby. Ironic that they complained about all of that but volunteered to lug around the rest of my gear so I could focus on shooting. Anyway, I'm working on getting some more of the pics up.
