Description Not as sharp as i would have liked it to be, but with that lens and the amount of light i had, there wasn't much choice but to bump up the ISO. a lot. Took this a while ago in Tarangire National Park, Tanzania. Was looking through some of my old stuff and came upon this one. I like it mainly because of the light, which seems to almost have a magical quality about it.

I do believe sir you either are, or should be a photographer for national geographic. i think the lighting is perfect! There's only so much you can do without getting trampled

you should. You have a good portfolio to send in! You should just leave out the part about it being in a zoo... you could say you went on a trip and frolicked with the animals ^_^

The vast majority of my pictures are definitely in the wild actually Only a few are from the washington zoo. I don't like zoos very much. They seem so restrictive. Especially after having lived in east africa for 10 years and having been on a whole bunch of safaris

really? Oh than that explains a whole lot! I think the few I looked at said it was at the zoo, so I just assumed. See, you already have the experience and everything! 10 years, wow

Yep. 10 awesome years. 4 in kenya, 6 in Tanzania. Safaris are much more fun than trips to the zoo!

I'm sure. A lot more of a thrill than watching them hide all day in their ... caves or whatever XD
