Images from a winter trip with friends to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium. The tough part about taking pics at the zoo is trying to get something that doesn't look like a posed shot or "tourist" shot. Creative cropping can help with that sometimes. The animals were pretty active given how cold it was that day, but one of these days I'm going to go hang out there all day and just try to focus on only a couple specific animals. Love shooting images of the lions and would like to get some better images of the tigers or new polar bear exhibit. The PPG Aquarium images were really tough as lighting conditions continually changed from tank to tank. Wish I had a little more time to play with exposures and lenses in there. Anyway, it was a great day shared with friends which is what's most important. Hope you enjoy.
