Silent FriendPosted by admin on July 22nd, 2008

My family and I went to the zoo with some visiting friends. We had the opportunity to see the new Butterfly and Insect exhibit that has just opened there. You walk into a room with a multitude of butterflies flying around. It was quite an experience and I will definitely be returning.

Swift FoxPosted by admin on April 17th, 2008

Continuing on with images from my weekend excursion to the zoo, is this image of a swift fox from the desert dome. While he was napping, he was aware of me, although obviously not too concerned.

Glowing TentaclesPosted by admin on April 15th, 2008

One of my favorite areas at the local zoo is the aquarium. Here I can always find intriguing sea life that I may never see natively, and would be less likely to photograph. In several small tanks there are little creatures that I use my macro lens to capture. I am not quite sure what this critter is, but I liked the patterns in the floating “tenatcles”. I used a shallow depth of field to create more of an abstract composition.

Technical Details:
Canon 5d, 50 CM lens, f/2.5, 1/250 sec.
