Went to Paradise Wildlife Park at Broxbourne yesterday.
Its only the second outing for my 30d and I tried not to use auto mode at all. I did have a few problems with Aperture Priority though as the camera seemed to under expose when I was at full zoom (300mm) with the aperture wide open (shooting through mesh). It was a bright day so difficult to see the results on the viewfinder, but know I know I will be able to compensate in the future.
I also found at full zoom, the focusing was very "soft" so some sharpening had to be done in photoshop. Other than that, a few levels adjustments and some cropping. Nothing truly brilliant to post but this was primarily a practise excerise and I had 3 small kids to supervise as well LOL!!
