My New Camera Zoo Shots (massive load warning)

[snakeguy101]

To rival sylvias who got the next model up from my camera at the same time as I got my Nikon d80.

Anyways, I went to jax zoo today and got some killer shots. If any of the images appear distorted, click on them to view the correct sized image it is a photobucket problem...)

I swear this one looks just like my step mother:

Can't say I didn't warn you...

Thanks, it was all shot with the following gear:

Nikon D80 Digital SLR body
50mm f/1.8 Nikor lens
70-300mm f/4-5.6 Nikor lens
Sigma EF-500 DG super speed light
MB-D80 Grip (and another battery of course)
Sunpack Ultra 7500TM tripod and head
Kata 123-GO-30 Sling Backpack
And some other goodies (filters/ cap leashes/ sensor cleaning kit/ IR remote etc...)

The flash stopped working about 10 pictures in (but I got it for free so I guess you get what you pay for...). I am not sure about the leopard. If it does not have scales, I don't know too much about it. Sorry.
