 I spent a good while at the Jaguar enclosure waiting for the right moment.

post processing: unsharp mask twice (once on the large size and once after resizing for web) and curves.

..and yes, I know this one would have been great for the spots challenge but I didn't have time to go to the Zoo that week.

Siggav,

You've inspired me with your photography. I recently got a D50 with a 24-85mm zoom and am enjoying the camera. I have also just purchased a used MF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AIS on ebay for $40 (US dollars)and will have it shipped to me in about a week.

Any chance you could give me a few tips on using this MF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AIS lens, since I won't be able to us it on the auto exposure setting or with auto focus. I hear it is a great lens, but I would like to know the best way to use it on the D50.

I just registered on dpchallenge a few minutes ago, so I haven't looked into posting any photos yet.

Thanks a bunch. Keep up with the great photos!

What a beautiful cat! Makes me want to pet him...bad idea. Lovely capture with nice yellow in background and perfect exposure.

Excellent angle, sharp focus with great DOF too. Also you just got the right saturation.
