greatapoc posted:I went to Taronga Zoo a few weeks back. Really wish I had a 70-200, all of these were shot with a 24-70 2.8. We absolutely loved our day at the Taronga Zoo. A+++ would go again. One of the highlights of my Sydney visit.  goat by Brian.M.K, on Flickr  emu by Brian.M.K, on Flickr  komodo dragon by Brian.M.K, on Flickr Edit: I think these were all shot with the 105mm f/2.8 Sigma on my 10D

Can anyone identify this for me? IMG_7368.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr  IMG_7364.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr  IMG_7336.jpg by Brian.M.K, on Flickr  It was about a foot long and a little over an inch thick, I estimate. It was also reproducing: writhing around over the rocks and weeds, dripping splooge (2nd pic).

ExecuDork posted:Definately a polychaete. How big was it? Where was it? It was described to me as possibly a pile worm (or clam worm) but I wasn't so sure. But after reading the wikipedia entry on polychaetes and nereis, I think that's probably what it is. Size-wise, being in the water made it hard to tell, but I figure it was a bit longer than a foot and maybe an inch and a half thick. What confused everyone was that it was so big: I guess they tend to be smaller. Apparently they like to spend their time burrowing into water soaked logs and such but one old fart said he once dragged a deer carcass out the water and found a bunch of those in it, which brings up some pretty horrific imagery. I took those pictures right off the helipad at our base in Prince Rupert, BC. Which is indeed on the west coast of North America.

InternetJunky posted:These past few months have been completely poo poo for me photography-wise as I injured my rotator cuff badly enough that I couldn't lift a camera or kayak all summer. Condolences. I tore my rotator cuff a few summers ago and it was basically awful. Ironically, it was the best thing to happen to my photography: no work, no mountain biking, or anything except get familiar with my brand-new 40D (which replaced the 10D I destroyed in the same bike crash that wrecked my shoulder). And the Calgary Zoo is awesome! I loved spending afternoons there. My brother and I used to eat some mushrooms and sneak in super late at night, which is a whole other thing but also worth it. In tribute to zoos and my dead 10D, here's my favourite photos taken at the Taronga Zoo in Sydney. One of the best zoos I've ever been to. emu by Brian.M.K, on Flickr komodo dragon by Brian.M.K, on Flickr goat by Brian.M.K, on Flickr
