The Red Panda has a new open air enclosure by the start of the line for the Giant Panda exhibit. No more mesh!!

The old exhibit was much smaller, kind of like a small gazebo, and the mesh was very fine. Combined with the size of the enclosure, it meant that I could neverget a good, unobstructed shot of a red panda. Ditto the enclosure at the Children's Zoo. This is much nicer for both us and the Red Pandas.

Well, except for the crowds, and the bamboo that obstructs your shot, now. :)

Auto Curves and then red/blue channel swap.

Shooting infrared with the G3 is cake. Delicious, yummy, frosted CAKE.

Instead of trying to compose/focus/judge exposure through a filter that renders the viewfinder black, when you use liveview with exposure simulation, it's all pretty easy to judge. In addition, I had the camera about 5" off the ground, tilted upwards, but there was no need to contort myself, because I have a flip-out screen.

Hello µ4/3. I think we're gonna be friends.

False color was done by custom white-balance and (mostly) red/blue channel swapping in post.
