Polar Bear Dry Cycle at the Detroit Zoo

Adalay, DNO_Dennis, Lawrence of Berkley, and I took a little shooting trip to the Detroit Zoo. One of my favorite animals to shoot there is the Polar Bear, but only when they're on the north side of the exhibit as the plant life looks less constructed than the other side. Today we were fighting the sun a little but still managed to get some great shots of one playing in the pool.

North American Black Bear at the Detroit Zoo

Adalay, DNO_Dennis, Lawrence of Berkley, and I took a little shooting trip to the Detroit Zoo. The bears were out and active about mid-day when we passed by, so we stopped to pound out a few frames. This one was enjoying an orange slice when we arrived.

Screaming Bald Eagle at the Detroit Zoo

Adalay, DNO_Dennis, Lawrence of Berkley, and I took a little shooting trip to the Detroit Zoo. This bald eagle seems to be missing at least most if not all of its left wing.

White-naped Cranes at the Detroit Zoo

Adalay, DNO_Dennis, Lawrence of Berkley, and I took a little shooting trip to the Detroit Zoo. Our first encouter was with the White-naped Cranes. The exhibit was set-up especially poorly for shooting, but I did manage to grab one image.

Time For Another 12 of 12!

It's also time again for another "12 of 12 Project!" Charge up those batteries and empty the memory cards for your twelve pictures tomorrow.

Last month I did another Macro project on the theme of "time." I haven't decided on one for this month yet, but I'm thinking of doing something on a wide angle lens.
