Wonderful Day at the Zoo
May 27th, 2008
My first post to the blog and I thought I would start things off with a fun trip to the zoo. It was a wonderful day; warm, sunny and a light breeze, so my girlfriend and I headed out to the Louisville Zoo to catch some shots of the animals.
I hauled my large camera bag out and we had a nice walk around the park.. well, that is until I pulled my back. Word of warning to other photographers; get a ROLLING bag if you are hardheaded like me and insist on hauling your entire arsenal of gadgets with you on a 4 hour walk. I won’t complain, however, because the time I’ve spent out-of-commission the last couple days gave me some time to set up this blog :).
The photos turned out alright. I didn’t get everything I wanted because the animals were lazy and, apparently, didn’t realize I was coming for their photo shoot. I could have gotten a nice close-up of the orangutans but some middle-aged lady thought the zoo was her personal exhibit and spent 30 minutes with her face pressed to the glass giving them kisses (I guess no one told her how disgusting it is to have your face pressed against the glass at a monkey cage).
Anyway, I’m posting a few of my favorites here. You can check them out in our nature gallery.








Love the tiger! Come to Virginia and visit Shelby and myself and we will take you to some great places to get some great shots (got to love the mountians!)
