A Day At The Portland Zoo

I love going to the zoo. I've been there 30 times in the past couple of years but never tire of returning. Today was no exception. I photographed a lion and a few Lorikeet Parrots this trip. It varies on each visit. This is the first time I've captured a lioness by herself. Usually there are two that hang together. The parrots were playful as ever, giving school kids plenty to talk about at the end of their visit.

    I love the lioness. Nice to see a photo without glass or fence distortion ...

    Thanks for your comments. It's funny that you mention the glass because this was shot through plexiglass. I used a polarizer to dispense with any reflection or glare.

    What a great reminder.

    D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
