I didn't get a t-shirt, but i did get some great shots.
Feel free to comment on them. They're my first additions to this site. Unfortunately they are no common objects, nor could i think up of a band with animals, so i just show them here! ;)
These Meerkats are always good for a few shots. (thanks for naming them)
This mountain goat looked quite suspicious..
Edit: Made links, made thumbs.. all looks so much prettier now! :P
Another edit to name my subjects.. thanks all!

Great work, Arjen. :-) My fav is the lion, I love lions, tigers and big cats at all. The funny tan coloured animals can be surikatas or mongouses, I am not sure though. Way to go, and I hope I see you challenging, soon! :-)

No they aren't mongooses, though they are part of the same suricates family - they are called MEERKATS.
I love them too!
Don't know what the last one is...
Your lion shot is nice - nice pose!

The lion shot is my favourite. What lens did you use? |

I used my new lens, a 75-300mm from Canon. The cheap one, without stabilizer or usm, since the first doubled the price and i don't use auto-focus really so i didn't need usm either! :)
I didn't get any lizards, since that would mean i need something to put my camera on (tripod or something?).. so i took outdoor shots only.
Thanks all for helping with the thumbs, links and naming my subjects! I think meerkats is the correct species (stokstaartjes in dutch). |

Good exposures and colors. Very nice shots. I agree with the others, the lion stands out a lot and what an interesting pose you caught him in.

I like the lion best, too. Shame you didn't enter it in a challenge. You don't have to use an existing band name- something like Dominant Predatory Cats would work fine. |

Dominant Predatory Cats would've been a good idea.. just shows how far your imagination goes and how far mine does.. :D
I did go to a festival on sunday, wich was supposed to be outside so i brought my camera! But it was raining before i even got there, so the whole thing was brought indoors. Me and my new lens were out of place!
These were not the only errors i made (ISO was still at 100 :S) but i managed to get some shots:
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=93900
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=93901
//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=93902
When i got home i was too tired for post-editing so i was too late to enter any of these. They wouldn't have beaten the lion-thing though :D |

Since you like taking pictures of Meerkats, what do you think of mine?
I think the image looks better in a larger size myself...
