A Trip to the Bronx Zoo!

January 9th, 2009 @ 11:20 am by Punam Bean

When my new pet lens arrived over the summer, the super yummy and delicious 50mm 1.2, it was cause to celebrate! And so, Husbone and I renewed our membership to the Wildlife Conservancy Society and made our way to the Bronx Zoo to put our membership to work. Armed with a free t-shirt and many shiny parking passes, we cut in front of the line (members only, people), and frolicked, cameras in tow. Husbone chose the zoom lens, a fine choice for our excursion. But we were very lucky, perhaps because it was such a nice day out, many of the animals chose the up close and personal approach to being nagged at by small children and the general public.

I love the zoo! I love my lens! This was the first time both Husbone and I made pictures together at the zoo, and the challenge of many fast moving animals, the obstacle of ankle high children speeding past us and stealing my flip flop, the various lighting conditions, and the limited time that is polite to grab a shot and go made for very good practice and was a blast! The zoo is kind of our place. If all else fails - go to the zoo! Support wildlife! Take pictures!

Wow. Unbelievable photos. I’m getting married at a goat dairy, and that picture with your husband makes me want to require my fiancee to wear a hat, just so we can duplicate it! There are also llamas, chickens, and a peacock. Here’s hoping we can have some fun pictures of the local fauna even half as beautiful as these pictures.

I agree with Mrs. Bee, I love seeing something a little different. Your photography is just incredible. I can’t believe the detail in those pictures. It makes me want to go brush up on my photography skills I’ve put on hold for too long!

That 50 1.2 is the most amazing lens- seriously!! Nice Shots!!
On a side note this really makes me want a pet fox, with gigantic ears to bounce all around my house.
