Mother's Day at Lowry Park Zoo

Finally made it to the zoo in Tampa. One more place crossed off my "photography places to visit" list. I hope I will make more visits to the Lowry Park Zoo. It is a good place to photograph animals since they are all in natural environments and there are not too many barriers to shoot through. Even places where there is a mesh, it is possible to focus past it and it doesn't show up in the image. The Safari Ride was not operational which would have provided some behind the scenes views of the zoo. Maybe next time it will be working. I used a 70-200 mm lens with a 1.4 teleconverter. In most cases there was a railing or post to lean the lens against for stability.
