Country Girl in Bloom

I am so glad my friends are always up for an impromptu photo session with me.  We decided to do a soft, spring, girly, country session the other day and I absolutely LOVE the way these came out!  Can not wait to do more sessions that look like this.

Taking Better Photos at the Zoo

Its starting to get warm so what better time to go to the zoo.  You may even see some babies.  I know one of the local zoo's where I live just got 2 baby bears.  (Plumpton Park Zoo in MD)



Here are a few tips for getting the zoo photos you want:

1.  Be patient – These are wild animals so they may not always cooperate when you want
                             them too.
2.  Go early or late.  These are usually the times the animals are most active due to
                                    feeding schedules.  Also get a map of the zoo so you can plan your
                                    route with the light to get the best photos
3.  Shooting through a fenced enclosure – lots of animals are in completely enclosed
                                    spaces.  The best way to get a good photo is to use a large f/stop
                                    and focus on the animal when they are away from the fence.  This
                                    will blur the fence and give you a nice image
                    Here is an Example:
                   
4.  Take close ups of the animals and move your angle to avoid those not so attractive
     rails, fencing, etc
                                        

5.  Don’t forget about all the flowers and plants at the zoo, they usually have some great   
      items for macro images

6.  Be sure to follow zoo rules



Recommeded Equipment – DSLR, Zoom Lens, Macro Lens, Tripod (if allowed)
