Ft Worth Zoo Photo Safari

[mmcaleer]

I don't know if anyone is aware of this event every month or not. I am new to Dallas and have never been to the Zoo. I have lived in the Washington DC metro area all my life and I am still getting used to paying to get into a zoo or museum.

It might be worth a trip in February.

Photo Safari
Saturdays, September 2006 to May 2007
Take your love for photography on an exotic adventure! Join a Fort Worth Zoo Photo Safari session the first Saturday of every month September 2006 through May 2007. Each hour-long session allows you to enter the Zoo before it opens to the public, hear a keeper chat about the featured animal and enjoy a photo opportunity! Participants must be 18 years and older, and both amateur and professional photographers are welcome. Member fee: $15; Non-member fee: $20. Each session is from 9 to 10 a.m. Please bring your own equipment.

Interesting... I talked at length to the PR director out there months ago about doing something like this... and told them that I was available to lead it. LOL (In other words, was trying to talk them into creating a job for me...)

Glad to see they've done it, though.

Cool, might be fun.

I would be all about this. Man I need to get a zoom lens, so much stuff I'd like to shoot.

[AndrewCCM]

I'd go sometime...

Feb 3rd and May 5th sound like the best times. Don't know about photographing a giraffe or rhino haha.

Actually the rhino sounds pretty cool to me!

I've attended a similar thing at the Dallas Zoo.... Very cool and fun. They waited to feed the animals until we (the group) showed up.

I'm curious...After the photo ops that the photogs get...can we stay in the park and look at the other exhibits? I mean, does the $20 include admission for the day?

Another option might be to just meet as a group and go shoot.

[MRCPix]

if everyone decides to go as a group I would be up for that.

i'm not the zoo official but once you passed the gate, you in for the rest of the day. I would bet yes, you can stay.
