Denver Zoo

On Friday I went to the Denver Zoo to shoot some photos and see what kinds of animals they had. Friday was one of the zoo’s annual free days for the public, yet it was not nearly as busy as I would have expected. The weather was perfect and it was a great day out with perfect blue skies. Many of the shots were taken indoors as the zoo had just opened when I arrived and it was still a bit cold for many of the animals to be put in their outdoor enclosures.

Here are are a few of the photos I took. I have posted the rest in a gallery here. Everything was shot in RAW and processed with Aperture.

A Hiena which was running around excitedly.

This cheetah was sunning itself and watching the crowd.

The zoo had gorgeous peacocks running free on the grounds.

A beautiful green tree monitor was basking under its UV light.

Amazing Animal Photos

While looking for wallpapers for my computer today I stumbled across the Deviant Art page of Igor Siwanowicz. His work is absolutely amazing when it comes to photographing some of my favorite animals such as reptiles. He also has some brilliant shots of insects and arachnids. I definitely suggest everyone take a look at his gallery: here

With my newfound hobby of photography on a more serious scale I hope to be able to take some similar shots in the future. I guess my pet lizard Vanessa better get ready for her photo shoot!
