Zoo Photography Made Simple
Few people have the opportunity to photograph wildlife in the wild. If a trip to Africa, the Arctic or the rain forest aren't in the cards for you a visit to a major zoo is the best opportunity to photograph some of the wonderful creatures that we share this planet with.
On this and several linked pages you will see a number of photographs taken at the Toronto Zoo, most of them over a couple of days in mid-November 2000. All photographs were taken with the Canon EOS-D30 digital SLR and a 300mm f/2.8L IS lens. A number of these photographs also used the Canon 1.4 extender and these are so marked. All photographs were taken handheld, and all were at ISO 400.
Photographed with Canon D30 at ISO 400. 1/180th sec @ f/4 with a Canon 300mm f/2.8L IS and 1.4X Extender. RAW Mode.
