Part 2: Toledo Zoological Gardens

My 3rd Trip to the Toledo Zoological Gardens in 4 days, and this is the day where I took those requests and snapped some pictures ;) I got in some new lenses yesterday, so I tried them out. One was a Sigma 200mm, and the other was a 500mm; a long with my Canon 430 Ex Speedlite, and UV filter. I've only done some post-processing to 4 images right now, because I'm going to bed....going on an hours sleep :P There are a few reptiles that will be posted, so don't worry :) Let me know what you think though! The others will come tonight, or tomorrow :)

Haha, thanks man :D

First 3 pics are mindblowing!

Great looking pics Andrew :gj:

Thanks Joe! The Polar Bear pics are coming as well. I just figured I'd tease you a bit with them. To boot, they're both of the mom, and of the cubs playing ;)

I didnt know Sigma made a 200mm prime lens, are they both prime lenses?

Im not exactly sure on what they are yet, other than they RAWK! :P I traded in one of my other SLR's for the pair of lenses, and paid the difference.

:bow: wow, amazing pictures!

Here kitty kitty kitty...

Lol. I'll be posting the Polar Bears, Birds, Reptiles, other mammals, and primates tonight or tomorrow. Keep an eye open :D

I can't believe they've still got the White Lions there. I could have sworn it was supposed to be a one (maybe two) year thing, not THIS long..

The White Lions were donated, man. They're here to stay :)

Here are the last of the pictures for now. Some complain that the Gorilla is too dark, but thats how dark and dim his corner was, so I want proper representation in my pictures ;)

Awesome! Shows how much I pay attention to the Zoo. LOL

Yep! I'm pretty sure they were donated. This sign was put up not too long ago too, right in the Lions Den..
