I've discovered that if it's a more modern, open-type zoo with natural-like habitats, you get better pictures. The one in Atlanta is *horrid* for pictures, because there's still a lot of older, cage-type exhibits. Riverbanks in Columbia seems almost custom-made for photographers


I agree. Don't like the zoos with the older style exhibits. Although when we go to the zoos with more natural habitats, the animals are too fast for me or sleeping behind a tree. :roll:

Seeing all the pics lately inspired me to go in the backyard and take some pictures.

My camera leans kept fogging up at first. I think it was because it's cool inside and hot and humid outside.

Love the photos, Con! I'd just as soon stick to the InterWebs. You can keep the spidery ones. ;) :D

Yeah, there's a very small cops of woods between our property and the one behind us. Maybe 30-40 metres at the most.
