Hi,
I'm not able to be a frequent poster on Kingsnake I'm afraid, but here's some random shots from my trip up to Scotland's very own indoor rainforest, Amazonia, as part of the Petsnakes Big Day Out 2003 ( see www.petsnakes.co.uk )
They have a fully live, planted, indoor walk-through rainforest complete with plant-life, monkey, butterfly, leaf cutter ant and bat colonies, and a whole host of reptiles, amphibians, inverts and birds. Great day out, and not expensive at that!
The pics are from my new Fujifilm FinePix A204 Zoom. I don't know if its available in the US, but for anyone interested it's a 2 megapixel, 3x optical zoom, f3.5-8.7 18mm zoom lens.
It comes with 64 zone TTL metering, multi flash modes including slow sync, auto or manual exposure modes (limited to white balance and EV compensation controls though) and onboard editing via the 1.5" movie/photo viewer LCD screen.
Not a bad package for £150 GBP (about US$200) but more manual control would have been nice.
Anyway; the first photo is a Monkey frog. Not a great composition shot (cut off its legs! LOL) but nice detail.
Next is a large adult Veiled Cham. Must admit I spent ages watching this little fellow 
A nice corner display waterfall feature:
One of the many flowerbeds lining the route through the "rainforest":
One of the indoor pools was well planted with large lilies, and as I was looking at them a butterfly (species unknown) landed there to rest. I know it's slightly out of focus but the softness does seem to compliment the colouring of the leaves I think:
Finally... Sorry but I couldn't leave this one out! LOL Edinburgh Castle on a typically dull, overcast Scottish day:
I hope you enjoyed them as much as I enjoyed taking them! As I say, not great quality IMO but I'm learning
Cheers
