Am I allowed to post zoo photos, or do they have to be 'natural'?

This is a baboon. Taken at a zoo.

It's expensive, but it's pretty good.

If it was a leopard, you and everyone around you would probably be dead (or wish you were.) Cheetahs are fairly docile (yay, genetic bottlenecks!) and a lot of institutions have some degree of free contact with them.

It's an okapi. Closest living relative of the giraffe.

drat. It was a [corrugated concrete] wall in the background, and I was hoping that it wasn't noticeable. Shouldn't be too hard to fix, I suppose. EDIT: All fixed. William T. Hornaday fucked around with this message at 18:03 on Apr 4, 2012 |

Whitezombi posted:What are you shooting with? The fences here prevent shooting a lot of the animals. The gear I usually bring to the zoo is a 7D, 70-200 2.8L IS, 24-70 2.8L, 580EX II, and 12 mm extension tube. I pretty much won't even bother trying to take photos at 90% of zoo exhibits. I'll walk up, look at it, say to myself "There's no loving way that I can possibly get a good photo out of this," and just move along to the next one. Maybe the lighting is too poor, the background sucks, the lighting is too harsh and contrasty, the vantage point is too high or low (i.e., not at eye level,) the animals are too far away, the mesh/glass/fence is impossible to cleanly shoot through, and so on; if any of these are the case and can't be overcome in some way (I've accumulated quite the sack of tricks,) I won't even bother. So be aware, the photos I share here typically go through a pretty thorough vetting process before I even think about picking up my camera to take them.

Whitezombi posted:That's exactly how it went with me. Plus having the girlfriend and 2 kids along. Oh man, I never let anyone come with me to the zoo. And I can barely stand being around all of the other people's children there, let alone being tethered to a couple of them all day. Props to you. Elendil004 posted:Please share your tricks! I may try and write something up some day. Anyways, here's a tortoise.

Well, this one was in a zoo, but your point still stands about certain populations of lions doing it in the wild.

poo poo, I was desperately hoping to figure out what the hell I'm doing before someone asked me that. I'll definitely do something in the future. But right now, my processing 'technique' is more or less an hour of aimless trial and error. "What's this setting do? Nope. How about this one? Whoa, that's weird. Maybe this one? Not that either." and so on. It involves a fair amount of drinking as well. But yeah, I'll definitely keep looking for an opportunity to do one without embarrassing myself.

San Diego Zoo Safari Park is a bit of a different breed when it comes to American zoos; a lot of it is very large, open-range enclosures. I would absolutely bring the TC.

Fun fact, this is how gerenuks feed. They don't eat grass at all and their diet consists almost entirely of shoots and leaves of trees and bushes, and they stand up on their hind legs to do so. And giraffe lips and tongues are both prehensile, the latter of which can be up to two feet long. And to contribute something other than random factoids..  Lion by William T Hornaday, on Flickr
