Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today I am sharing yet another shot from the zoo and it is another bird. The only difference is this one is from today. I just purchased a new lens and I wanted to test it out. I figured the zoo was a good place.

Here is the swan once again. He/She was looking for food and I had to make sure my fingers were not on the menu.

Well hello there!

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 28, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Yesterday I shared a bird I shot at Elmwood Park Zoo. A Black Vulture to be precise. Today I would like to share another bird. But this time something a little more friendly looking. Here is the Swan. And I do mean "the" Swan. There is only one at Elmwood.

He may be friendly looking but let me tell you, he will bite. So keep your fingers away!

Exploration Photography Daily View - October 29, 2015

Hi and welcome to the latest edition of the Exploration Photography Daily View!

It's been a little busy around here my friends. A good busy but busy nonetheless. So for today's photo I am sharing yet another shot from the Elmwood Park Zoo last week. This guy is really cool and has been at Elmwood for some time. I do however suggest that if you get the chance to visit that you keep your fingers away. I learned this a long time ago... The hard way...

March 22, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday I told you that I shot a lot of photos at the zoo and I wasn't kidding. In fact I shot over 700 frames. Now of course I won't be processing all of them. In fact only about 20 - 25 will make the final cut. And that is if I'm lucky. This is why I love digital. Though that can be a two way street. Something that I have talked about before is that digital may give us the freedom to shoot many more photos than we will ever actually use but film makes us more careful. With film you literally pay for every shot. And that price is much higher today than it was 10 years ago. So anyway today I looked over about 100 photos and I have three I would like to share with you.

First we have the chatty owl from yesterday's video.

And here is one of the swans. This was the only water fowl that we saw.

And here is one of the zoo's Jaguars.

And finally we have today's "Amaryllis Watch" photo. I know I keep saying we are getting close but I think we really are. It has opened just a little bit more.

And so we once again call it a day my friends. I thank you for stopping by and as always invite you back to see what I post next. And don't forget that if you like my blog please feel free to share it with others. I would love to have them check it out.

Until next time...
