Because a cell phone with 5.0 megapixel is laughable for taking proper photos. No offence meant to you, rather to people with cell phones thinking they are professional photographers (of which there are too many these days). However, there are MANY factors that determine how good a camera is and megapixels are not the most important one (however, you should have at least 15.0 megapixels). I do not know the proper terms for these factors in English but maybe some of the even better photographers here can come to my aid?
The whole purpose of an on-line Forum is for people to have discussions, I thought... not to simply preen and pose and expect nice pats on the head. "Oh what a clever boy."
In a Forum such as this, where members range in age from 9 to 70 (I'm guessing here) there is the additional possibility of the younger people learning from elders how to have a discussion and what has already been figured out. The elders can learn to have a new fresh perspective from the passionate younger members.
And then, every year or so, some younger member reverts to stubborn tantrum and we have these long posts where assorted people try to get him (is it ALWAYS a "him"?????) to let go of the stick and move on.
Look, it doesn't matter whether CinZoo boy loves this exhibit or not. The exhibit did win an AZA best exhibit award a long time ago. It was a spectacular step forward a long time ago. Now we have seen what more can be done and we are learning from it and trying to do better.
It is far better than some and not nearly so good as others.
So what?

And that's all you took away from that post?
Seriously you can't just take 1 piece of a post and ignore the bits you don't likem, defeats the whole point of a discussion.

Then you need to re-read @Zooplantman's well-written and very true post and think about it some more. Also, don't take this as a personal attack but rather constructive criticism (like @Brum).
I remember what it was like to be a young forumster on ZooChat. I joined when I was just 16 and having re-read some of my very old posts I am shocked at how juvenile I must have sounded. However, I have since been corrected and learned from some of the older members of the forum and am very grateful for that today.
First of all, my photos are landscape pictures that show exhibits and landscapes in zoos not just animal shots.
Secondly, all of my photos are sharp and crisp and not blurry catastrophes.
Secondly, I don't use flash on animals because I think it can be stressful to many species and it is not allowed to use flash in many nocturnal houses. While some of my pictures may be a little dark (for which I apologize) they are ALWAYS sharp or not uploaded.
I am amazed that you continue to embarrass yourself like this. Your responses are bratty and downright ridiculous.
Oh, and by the way: You may have seen an old picture of me but if you were capable of doing the least bit of research, you would be able to see on my profile that I am 21 (well, in two days at least).
