An afternoon at the zoo · 10:14 PM

I timed my zoo trip poorly so I was battling the harsh sun all day. Many times today I had a great subject and ended up with a crappy exposure--but it was still a great day. Pics were taken with my tamron 90 macro and sigma 18-250.

Nice series! I like the last shot a lot. Great choice to go B&W with all that contrast.

Thanks Adam. The whites were so blown out in the pic that I had no choice but to go B/W--I just looked at the exif and noticed that I was ISO 500, which is completely unnecessary. In fact, several pics from that day leave me wondering what the hell I was thinking.
