Paige’s work had a company function at Atlanta Zoo yesterday. I haven’t been to the Atlanta Zoo since I was very young, according to my mother, and from what I am told the zoo really sucked back in the day compared to now.

We had a great time. Paige recently purchased a Nikon D80 Digital SLR, and got to try it out yesterday. We got about 3/4 of the way through the zoo, a couple hundred photos, when she looked at some of the photos she had taken, and noticed she had the camera set on the wrong setting, causing the photos to be blue. Also, she wasn’t shooting in RAW format, which is one of the reasons for shooting with an SLR, you have a format that has all the information about the shot so you can work with the photo later in a tool like Aperature or Lightroom. We went through the zoo a second time (all in all we were there around 5 hours) so she could retake photos. I didn’t mind. Aside from it being very humid, it wasn’t overly crowded, and the kids that were there were very well behaved. We had a great time.
