Woolly Mammoth
Woolly Mammoth in the Natural History Gallery at the Royal BC Museum, Victoria, BC.
No flash. And never a tripod around when you really want one... I tried to minimize camera shake by resting the camera on the exhibit sign. The photo turned out so dark I couldn't see anything in the unenhanced image except for the tusks. Luckily my camera, a 6-year old Sony DSC-S70, did manage to get the subject in focus despite the low light conditions. It must have been able to "see" the tusks. I used Photoshop to lighten the whole image up and also reduced the redness around the mammoth's eye just a little bit.
I like how grainy the image is, makes the scene seem more real somehow.

And I like the grain of the photo too.
