And I come bearing the first batch of pictures, natch. These are from the Phoenix Zoo, and contain anteaters (but you knew that), cape hunting dogs, otters, hummingbirds...

Those are magnificent. The hummingbird is amazing, and I actually just saved the yawning lion and the baboon because, man. Cool.

What sort of camera do you use? Your photos come out beautifully.

I use a Canon Powershot S2 IS. The autofocus sometimes drives me a little crazy because it seems to pick things at random to focus on (you only see the pix that come out well), but when it hits the sweet spot, they're beautiful. I also use PaintShopPro8 to crop and make the colors pop.

Wait 'til you see the hummingbirds I shot at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum...
