UziButton Goes to the Zoo (A Pictorial Review)

[TheEngineer]

When i read "bug eyed critter", i was going to let you know that was a lemur (i think)...then i read the rest of the names and realized that it would be to no avail

Great pictures though The one of the entrance was fantastic

I like the blood on the corner of the lion's mouth.

It was feeding time. Each kitty got a BIG steak.

Just showed these to the wife. She really liked the one with the mom and baby monkey and the one with the flamingos.

Great pics! Even better descriptions.

Nice pics. I wasn't terribly impressed with Lincoln Park Zoo last time I was there, but the price is hard to beat.

Did you do much photoshopping to process them?

All of these were taken with a Canon 40D. That Canon 70D is looking mighty appealing though.
Lens selection was either Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM or EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

Thanks for the info. Were all of the critter pictures taken with the 70-200mm?

I'm trying to get back into using my camera again. I have a T2i, along with a 55-250mm, nifty fifty, and the kit 18-55mm.

UziButton photos; they're not just for machine guns anymore!

Great pictures.

15-20 minutes for each picture. Post processing is just part of the job.

Ha! It is true! To be honest, shooting for firearms related applications makes up just a small portion of various photo shoots throughout the year. I wish it was more though.
Other applications include (but not limited to) shooting jewelry and watches...

I also shoot a lot of high school seniors...

Sometimes I shoot couples...

Sometimes I shoot people singing...

Sometimes I shoot cyclists...

Sometimes I volunteer at the local animal shelter to take pictures for their website to help dogs and cats get adopted...

Sometimes I shoot horses...

Sometimes I shoot REALLY small critters...

Sometimes I shoot planes...

I used to shoot paintball guns before it lost favor...

Rarely I shoot people getting married. I try my best to avoid shooting weddings. I tend to price weddings high to scare them away. It doesn't always work.

but occasionally, I get cool gun related photo shoots.

Which was featured on the top portion of this page on this website...
Krebs Custom Firearms
I did the picture on the footer of the website as well.

What do you charge for a session and rights to pics? Products mainly is what I'm interested in.

I will send you a PM regarding this particular inquiry.

Yep, all the critter pics were with the 70-200mm. I have the brother to the nifty fifty, the 50mm F1.4, which is a fantastic bang for your buck.

Very cool stuff!

You are an amazing photographer!
