Challenge: DPL Album Cover (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM
Location: Milwaukee Zoo
Date: May 12, 2007
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 500
Shutter: 1/80th
Galleries: Humorous, Animals
Date Uploaded: May 12, 2007

 Shot at the zoo during the Milwaukee GTG. I think all of us shot this gesticulating gorilla heavily, and he'll probably show up in a few challenges. Too fun.

This guy must have had something wrong with the middle finger on his hand, because it was nearly constantly extended like this. When he started to pick his nose, it was just too much to resist. I shot a bunch of pics, but the light was not great and the glass caused the image sharpness to degrade. I wasn't happy with any of my shots, but I had to find one to enter in this challenge.

I'm not happy with the quality of the shot and would not have used it if not for the ability to add text for this challenge. I struggle to come up with a title that sounded like it could be a band and to make use of the subject of the photo. I'm predicting a pretty good showing for me, about a 6 - mostly for the humor value.

DPL got its name from the lead singer's wife. They used to be called Macho Macho Men but were threatened by a law suit from the Village People (that was the only thing the Village People did that year. It was right before their ill-fated New Year's Eve with Dick Clark comeback). 7

Priceless post, great album title! Tad color noisy thing going on, but I think it would still work very well as an actual CD cover.
