> Hello everybody,
> Finally got some spare time during these Christmas
> hols and managed to put a few of my Orlando trip pics

> Mike, Sam, Chuck, Jim, Chris, Doris, Susan, and
> anybody else I might have missed for the excellent
> advice and tips provided.

> To summarize the trip in a nutshell, had a nice time ?
> not really a photographic trip, but did come back with
> a few pictures I liked. It was just the two of us (me
> and my better half ? no kids yet) so we decided to
> adopt a theme-park commando role and we covered six
> parks each of the six days we were there. Based on the
> list advice ? and good advice it was - I carried the
> bare minimum stuff ? an OM2000, the 35-70 zoom, a
> 50/1.8, and also decided to throw in the 75-150 in the
> backpack ? glad I did ? and a couple of close up
> filters. (Mike ? thanks for the backpack advice).

> Most of the shooting had to be done straight from the
> hip ? no time for changing lenses or composing, and I
> am not too good at that. At the Kilimanjaro Safari at
> the Animal kingdom, the ride was jerky and bumpy and
> the driver did not stop for photographs. It was not a
> particularly sunny day, and to avoid camera shake I
> was shooting at 1/500 or 1/1000 wide open at f4. (I
> was using the 75-150 and 400 ASA Kodak print film).
> Animals would appear out of anywhere, so to get a good
> shot you needed fast reflexes. With the mix of light
> and shade, by the time I could focus and verify the
> exposure the shot was gone. I have been reasonably
> happy with manual focus all this while, but this is
> the first time I felt the need to move on to auto
> focus. With auto focus and auto exposure, all I would
> have to do is compose and press the shutter. I have
> included a couple of the Kilimanjaro safari shots, and
> the camera shake and lack of depth of field is
> apparent. But till the time I get some real African
> safari shots, I am quite content with these.

> I would really really appreciate a feedback or any
> comments on these snaps. I would like it if you could
> let me know which photographs you liked best (if any
> !!) The best feedback I have received from a list

> All the snaps are handheld and most of them are with
> the OM2000 and the 35-70 that comes with it (I
> understand this lens is rated very poorly in the Zuiko
> arsenal of lenses). The butterfly snaps are with the
> +3 and +2 close up filters screwed on the 50/1.8.
> Photographs developed at Price Club 1 hour lab and
> scanned at 150 dpi. That?s as basic as you can get.

> And to top it all, I bought and processed the film in
> Canada, which means they went thru the airport X-rays
> a couple of time before processing....
