"They give us those nice bright colours, they give us the greens of summers"

It's a picture spam post! I was out at the zoo today taking pictures to use in one of my Photoshop assignments for school.

You know I have to start with the obligatory tiger picture!
This one is Nika:

Homework assignment

The current assignment in my Photoshop class was to do an animation. We had to put everything together in one document, (320 x 240 pixels, 72 ppi) with layers for all the frames. Then we edited it in Image Ready to get the animation frames set. Then we exported it to Quicktime.
I had originally planned to do something with the tigers at the zoo, and that was the main reason for yesterday's trip. But... When I was in the tropics trail the female White-Cheeked Gibbon was being pretty active so I ended up taking a bunch of shots of her.

It's nothing too spectacular, but I'm a comment whore so I'm posting it anyway! :)
