So I went to the zoo! Next time I'll take a tripod and a couple of lenses, but it was a good scouting trip.

  Probably the best two from a recent trip to the Smithsonian Zoo, shot with a 35 mm lens because I'm retarded.

Been in Alaska 2 days and the best I've gotten so far is a red fox in camp. Best bird photo has been a robin  Got a couple more weeks up here so hopefully something a little more characteristically Alaskan. Toolik-Red-Fox 1724 on Flickr Toolik-Red-Fox 1725 on Flickr Toolik-Red-Fox 1726 on Flickr

I took my new Tamron 150-600 to the zoo today to mess around with it. Its the biggest lens I've ever had but I got used to it pretty quickly. I was so excited to use it though I forgot to check all my settings before I started taking pictures. Bad idea after you've let your two year old play with your camera in your lap Apparently he had switched it to spot metering and all my shots ended up with blown out skies and highlights. Oh well. Still got to see this cute girl running back and forth above me.  20140823-IMG_7406 by LeeMHarp, on Flickr dont hate the playa fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Aug 24, 2014 |

Just back from an awesome 14-day safari in Kenya. I had plans to edit a bunch of shots today but I can barely keep my eyes open, so for now here's a fun shot:

 Columbian Ground Squirrel by Geographic Ecotourist, on Flickr There are tons of these guys in the alpine meadows of the Canadian Rockies, in certain areas it's not unreasonable to see hundreds.

I apologise in advance for spamming all my safari photos. If I don't process them now I know from experience they will sit collecting (digital) dust. I converted this one to B&W to try and counteract the brutal light and heat distortion.  Beautiful.

These were all pretty heavily cropped. Not complaining because wildlife has been pretty scarce so far. Musk Ox  Musk Ox, Dalton Highway on FlickrCaribou  Caribou- Dalton Highway on Flickr Two Caribou, Dalton Highway on Flickr

Great fox photos. I'm especially loving the look on this one's face - is there enough detail to crop in for a close up on it? I paid a visit to a Roosevelt elk herd on Saturday.  young-bulls by Redwood Planet, on Flickr  young-bull-face by Redwood Planet, on Flickr  bull by Redwood Planet, on Flickr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUc-PqFzmeE I'm gonna try to edit something together with the bull's rutting behavior after I finish my current video project. It got pretty gross - rutting involves a lot more bodily fluids splashing all over than most nature documentaries let on. I also had a visit from a family of river otters while I was staking out a kingfisher's favorite spot  otter-smile by Redwood Planet, on Flickr  otter-shake by Redwood Planet, on Flickr  otter-fish by Redwood Planet, on Flickr And a sunning garter snake let me get within a few inches of it for a close up  garter-head by Redwood Planet, on Flickr

That crop holds up OK, but might be pushing it. Toolik-Bridge-fox-closeup 1784 on FlickrHope you guys don't get tired of fox pics. The young one was really interactive yesterday. I was trying to keep him away from something and it turned into a bit of a game.
