Looking Unto The Light

This was lit with only a spotlight. To avoid clipping highlights, I had biased the exposure darker by 1-2/3 stops. In post, the image was then exposed to the right.

I travel to zoos often. I been to a lot, and over the years have managed to get increasingly better at photography. So I thought I would share some of my proudest ones with you all. I did retouching on them on photoshop. The zoos these animals came from were Turtle Back Zoo, Zoo Atlanta and Kansas City Zoo. I have 0 idea if anyone will appreciate this but if it turns out y’all do then I will sure in the future post some more. 

Species list:

Masai Giraffe (turtle back zoo)

Orangutan (Zoo Atlanta)

African Lion (Zoo Atlanta)

Giant Panda (Zoo Atlanta)

You may have figured out that we love lizards here at herpsandbirds, so yes i do definitely have some favorites...

Fiji banded iguana (Brachylophus fasciatus) 

The Fiji banded iguana is an arboreal species of lizard endemic to some of the southeastern Fijian islands. It is found in Tonga, where it was probably introduced by humans. It is one of the few species of iguanas found outside of the New World and one of the most geographically isolated members of the family Iguanidae. Populations of these iguanas have been declining over the past century due to habitat destruction, and more significantly, the introduction of mongoose and house cats to the islands.The species is diurnal, spending their days foraging, basking and watching over their territories by day and retreating to the treetops at night.
