Went to the Zoo

[deeplove]

Amazing photographs! You've got quite a talent with a camera!

I love the reptile house at our zoo here in Toledo. They have two Gabby's and I could watch them for hours (as well as drool over all the other gorgeous snakes they have).

One thing you might try is phoning your zoo's public relations/main office/visitor information office. Ask them for the day and hours that are normally the least high traffic at their zoo. That should help you have a more quiet experience and get more great pictures.

I never thought about that one. That's great advice!

Nice photos. What kind of camera do you have?

Canon S5 IS. I just started taking pictures so I'm FAR FAR AWAY from being Pro. The S5 is no where near a DSLR which I'll be buying sometime this year. Maybe the Canon 40D.

But for practice, the S5 is pretty good. One thing though, in LOW LIGHT situations, it lacks. That's where you'll get mad with the camera. But if you give it enough light then it can take some really nice pictures.

It looks like you were in the enclosures with the animals! Those are amazing pics!

Thanks!



Some more of the pics are on this thread. I really didn't want to toss them in here. Check it.

If anyone is from Florida, can you guys tell me of a nice place I can swing by to check out some snakes? I'm in Miami, but my vacation is coming up. I'd like to get out of here if possible.

Ha I know what you mean I've got a camera now just a point and shoot and some times I get so mad. I really want a Nikon SLR.

Is that a Bearded Dragon?

I think. My buddy says that it is. Great colors too!

They all look awesome!

Great pics! Thanks for sharing. I am a sucker for a gabbie......too bad i'll never have one.

I wish the Zoo near me had snakes you could see :\

They have only a few snakes but you're not allowed to get close and they only do 1/2 hour show once a day with them. Boo.

PLUS there are no good reptile orianted pet stores around here either.
