Zoo Day!




Okay, enough theory about photography.  Sometimes it's just fun to get out with the camera and family.  

Not that long ago my wife, Ann, and I took our daughter, Callah, to the zoo.  We had never been to the zoo during the winter before so it was kind of like an adventure.  To our surprise not many people were there on that particular day and it turned out to be a lot of fun!


Not only did Callah enjoy free reign of the empty buildings but the animals were quite active as well.  And without crowds of people around, it was a lot easier to get positioned for a few photos of the zoo's inhabitants.  


The zoo can be a great place to work on composition and subject placement within the frame.  Unlike the wild, at the zoo you don't have to pan very far to include unwanted fences, gates or other elements that may detract from the overall photo.  

But most of all, it was just nice spending time with my wife and daughter.
