Moody Gardens - Rain Forest

I haven't been since they re-launched it a few months back...

Just remember you get to wait a few for your gear to warm up enough so it doesn't fog over ;)

For those considering going, my trip this past summer left me wishing I had brought my 100mm macro instead of the 20mm/1.8. I used my 70-200/2.8 almost exclusively but there were lots of times that the 5' mfd was just way too much. The crowds prevent use of a tri/monopod so fast glass is definitely the way to go. There are quite a few very nice plants to shoot as well (orchids, bromelaides, etc).

these were done with a 300 2.8, FYI

Cool stuff Paul. we were there during our 4th of July stay. I only had my walk around lens and wished I would have brought a bit more reach.

Love the capture of the iguana (?). He doesn't look real.

I think that's a Water Dragon, Charrie. Nice pics! I want to see the penguins.
