Wordless Wednesday: San Francisco Zoo Inspires Pro Photography Dreams

Last updated on February 7th, 2013 at 05:13 pm

San Francisco Zoo: Pro Photography DreamsHello Pro Photography Dreamers.

This week’s Wordless Wednesday photography post comes from a recent photography dream trip to the San Francisco Zoo with my meetup group, SoCoPhoGro.

I found the photography shoot to be a bit challenging — harsh, direct mid-day sun created a lot of shadows and contrast.  Many of the animals were resting or ignoring us zoo visitors, and the open-air concept for cages made the distance between us and them a factor in the quality of the photographs.

But as you will see below, I muddled through it.  In the end I captured some fairly interesting animal images.

It was a beautiful place to be inspired to take photographs.

1.  Are zebras black with white stripes, or white with black stripes? It’s a mystery.

San Francisco Zoo photos: Tiger3.  I saw a carpet of feathers before me…

San Francisco Zoo photos: Peacock4.  When you are too far away to capture detail, shoot for shadows and contrast.

San Francisco Zoo photos: Nyala shadows5.  It was high noon and this guy was ready for a nap.

San Francisco Zoo photos: Gorilla6.  Otter kisses or otter throw-down?  It was tough to determine.

8.  Penguins make everyone smile, don’t they?
