Hi All,
I took the challenge and purchased a D200 a couple of months back.
I went out to featherdale wildlife park in Sydney last weekend and here are a couple of my favourites.
This is my first SLR, all previous shooting done with P&S.
Taken with the D200 with a 17-50mm f2.8 Tamron lens.
No image editting except for resizing.

Any comments welcome

First up Rob, welcome to the forum. It is always nice to see someone posting pics with their first post. I like, in particular, the shot of the Koala but all three are very nice.

Welcome to the forum Rob. Enjoy.

All nice shots - especially since this is your first SLR.

The first image of the lizard possibly could have done with a little more DOF - the branch appears sharper than the lizard to me (maybe that's just my eyesight).

Possibly a crop all of these shots would highlight/isolate the subject more.

Cheers, Mick

Thanks for the feedback.
The lizard shot was difficult as It was indoors in low light, and I wasn't too keen on using the flash as I haven't worked out how to make the shot look natural with it yet.
It was shot hand held at 1/13 sec exposure at f2.8, and i was actually surprised it turned out at all. (hopefully i can get a tripod soon - but there is so much choice, i don't know what to get!)

cheers

Welcome rob. You might want to do a search on this forum for tripods as there has been some interesting posts about them. Just like most stuff, you get what you pay for.
Nice pic of the Kookaburra.
