<p> This first one was taken at the Taronga Zoo, which is the only place we saw live kangaroos during the trip. I get a kick out of the fact that they're all just chillin'. I've tried compensating for the apparent slight over-exposure using Picasa, but all of the adjustments I make just make the picture worse. I could also crop in on the guy on the right (he's the one that I think is more interesting), but I'm afraid if I do that he's all that's going to be in the picture.</p>

<p>This picture is also slightly over-exposed (like I said in my first thread, I think I had the film speed set too slow on the camera for the first part of the trip), and if I get the sky any darker it distorts the other colors (especially the opera house tiles). I also don't like the wooden structure at the bottom, but I might be able to edit it out. What I do like is how the guy looking so pensive in the picture mirrors the structure: he and the opera house both seem like they're looking to the left at something in the distance. I don't remember if I saw the guy when I took the shot - I was just trying to use the opera house to frame the downtown skyline.</p>
