Animal Photography- Final Portfolio

Our class took a field trip to the Philadelphia Zoo to take pictures for this animal photography assignment. It was a great trip, and I took some of my favorite photos there. It was somewhat difficult to take pictures there, however, because there were many challenges. One was that the animals were often very far away, and even with a zoom lens it was sometimes difficult to capture the animal. In addition, the glass and wire barriers made it difficult to capture the animals, as the glass often provided a glare, and the wire fences got in the way of the lens. Overall, this was my favorite assignment of the class.
