One of my fav shots from the zoo...

[VictorG]

Thought I'd share one of my favorite shots from a recent trip I took with my fiance and one-and-a-half year old to the Phoenix Zoo, here in Arizona. This is the cheetah there... but, I like to say it is a leopard and set it as my background on my Mac!

Here is another photo from the zoo. A random "Bird of Paradise" plant (flower?) that was just hiding in an obscure spot.

I love the Bird of Paradise plant. I had one for years and could never get it to bloom. Awesome Pictures! I bet your heart was racing!

It's funny, I always thought the bird of paradise was so exotic, then I moved out here to CA and they're growing everywhere.

Vic,

Great shots!

I also have a Nikon D200 and think it is a wonderful camera. I am now lusting over the D700.

Can I ask what lens(es) you used for these photos?

Thank you! Yes, I love my D200. I really liked the D300 afther that came out... but, then the D700 came out, and, well I agree with what you said!

As far as the lens, I used a Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED. Capable little lens, and at $200, can't really go wrong.
