Some recent SA Zoo stuff - 06-29-2010, 12:06 PM


Here's a few from recent trips to the zoo. I haven't been able to get out for any real "field" photography.

Blue Duiker -



Racquet-tailed Roller - (BTW, the new Africa walk-in Aviary area is great for photography, particularly the upper deck.)



Bonnethead -



Emerald Starling -



some sort of Wrasse -



The Dinosaurs were out -



Bet you can't get this close to a Cottonmouth at BBSP with a 90mm macro -



How about this close?



C&C always welcome.

Chris

Beautiful series Chris. The second and the two snake shots are the standouts for me.

Great zoo series as always Chris! I can get that close to a cottonmouth at BBSP...they have one on display in the Nature Center...

If I think about it I'll go by and get a few shots with my 105 mm

Chris, excellent shots. I saw that same snake a few years ago when I went there. The last shot of the snake is ultra close. Good job!
