As many of you know from my last post, Hello San Diego, I traveled to… San Diego! So, of course I went to the zoo and took the camera along to experiment which photographing animals, working on lighting and reflections on glass, and so on. The zoo was HUGE! It had so many different exhibits it took us probably five hours or so to go through the entire thing. It also, has some steep hills that you wouldn’t expect! It was a day of fun exploring it all, getting lost within the zoo itself, and riding the “skyfari” which went over the park. When I returned home to edit through the photos, I noticed something strange. Either they look like an animal in it’s natural environment, or my photos looked like they could be used in some sort of animal advocacy add against zoo’s, or medical testing, and so on. For some odd reason, the monkeys always looked the most distraught or sad! So, what are your thoughts? Are they typical zoo moments captured, or advocacy style photographs? Be sure to check back next week for a post on the many other amazing animals at the San Diego Zoo!
Okay, I just had to add that last one of Paul on the ground with the angry gorilla statue!
No matter how old you are, you’re always a child at heart!
