Omaha Zoo photo's (huge duw)

Well I went to the Omaha Zoo and thought I'd share a some photo's. Unfortunately I had to go on a Saturday, so it was very busy and limited me to taking photo's only in a few spots that weren't jammed. Also the weather turned sour and it started pouring rain so I called it quits long before seeing everything. So no shots of the aquarium, desert dome, cat house, and many other things.

These two monkeys kept running and playing on the soft shell turtle.

I intentionally focused on this bears foot with a large aperture (shallow depth of field).

Chris your pictures rock as usual. I see the turtle and the monkeys that you were telling me about! That turtle is cool looking.


Brock :carrot:

my wife is from omaha, i haven't been to the zoo there but she has when she lived there, we want to go see the zoo... her dad and step mom live in omaha but her dad died last november so we had to go see him the weekend before he passed so we couldn't go, so we are gonna try to get out there soon we hope.........

Awesome. Do you live in Omaha as well? Haven't been to the zoo in a year now since its such a haul down there from across town but its well worth it when you do go. I'll see if my herp buddy can get you into the back stage areas there if you'd like. I have a couple buddies that work there.

Wow!!! :cool:

Those really are amazing pictures! I like the third one and the elephant ones the best though. I think, hmm...wait...heck I like them ALL!! Thanks for sharing!!
