Lion Close Up


On a recent visit to Colchester Zoo, I was without my tripod, so didn't think I could use the zoom lens on my DSLR. So for long distance shots I used my Panasonic point and shoot. While looking at the lions, I started to mess with the digital zoom. My Panasonic camera has 10x optical zoom, so allows me to get very close anyway. However, I was amazed with the picture I captured with the digital zoom added. I was always lead to believe that you should never use the digital zoom, but looking at this picture, I may use it more often if needed.
