    A friendly word of caution in case you aren't aware; The San Diego Zoo holds rights to all panda images and is quite earnest in defending those rights.

    There are multiple signs posted throughout the panda exhibit warning against the displaying or use of any images of the pandas.

    But you sure took some awful nice snaps! :D

    Man I can't wait. Just over a month and we will be in San Diego. Last time the pandas weren't out. Maybe we'll be lucky this time!

    Nice shots as well.

    Great shot. The hardest part about a photo like that is catching the panda awake. :):

    Thanks Angelo. No I was not aware of the Zoos "rights". Firstly, I am not using the images for commercial purposes, I didn't see any postings attesting to the Zoo's rights. As they allowed all photographers to take photographs, it seems rather hard for them to enforce ... but, be that as it may ... thanks for the heads up.

    Thanks fire1035 - I have a friend in Dallas who is a great Zoo photog. I told me patience is the operative word for Zoo photos. And as you know Pandas don't get a lot of energy out of bamboo ... so they barely move. I first arrived at 10-ish ... nada ... so I went to few different exhibits. Nada ... nada ... nada ... until feeding time .. then bingo. Went back after feeding time ... nada. (I got a few okay snaps throughout the day ... but the best were at feeding time.)

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
