Was trying my new zoom with Image Stabilizer (on the XT 350D). Most of these are at 300mm, all are cropped, some sharpened and brightened in PS Elements.
The Tiger looking right had a dark grey rock near his nose at the right edge. I tested my PSE skills by Selecting, Cloning, then using Gaussian Blur to hide the rock with the green background. Came out OK.
The Giraffe head was a looooooong way off. I used a 2X Teleconverter to see if the lens and Converter combo would work. l lost about two stops and lost autofocus but the IS allowed a slower shutter speed and the image is quite accaptable (to me).
Comments and gentle criticism are welcome...
