AWESOME image Ronnie!!!! #527778Karen Talasco May 09, 2004
Fabulous, Ronnie. I love these guys. We have 2 female black leopards at the Bronx Zoo. They are in an indoor jungle type exhibit. It's all natural looking, but they are behind huge panes of glass and under artificial lights which creates bad glares when shooting. I've even tried a circular polarizer, to no avail. Do you have any suggestions? #527812Gary O`Dell May 09, 2004

Great shot, Ronnie. #527881Ronnie E. Howard May 09, 2004
Thanks to Diane, Sharon,Marie, Charlene,and Karen. Karen I hate to shoot through glass because of glare and color tints. The only things I know that help are polarizers that you are already using,lens hoods, and be sure to get as close to the glass as possible. Also I usually have to take severasl shots and make adjustments to exposure compensation before I get light metered coreectly. and of course photoshop probaby helps more with glare than all of the above. Hope this helps Ronnie #527884Allan L. Whitehead May 09, 2004
Magnificent photograph, Ronnie, (as always, my friend) and thanx for the "thru the glass exposure lesson" as I always have the same problems as everyone else in those scenarios. Extremely well done. I love everything about this and these truly magnificent creatures - your friend, ALlan #528025Ronnie E. Howard May 09, 2004
