Lion at SF Zoo



Nikon D100, Tamron 24-135mm @ 120mm

Benson's zoo shots reminded me of a few that I shot at the S.F. Zoo in May 2005 that I decided not to post at that time.

Warren,

A great shot with clear details of the fur. It looks like this big cat was looking for a hand out.

I like this. It's like a shot out of Wild Kingdom.

This is a great shot. I like the detail of the mane and the 3/4 facial shot. I am curious, did you crop this at all from the original. At 200mm I was not able to get that close with some of my shots at the San Diego Zoo. Next time we go to the SF Zoo, I'll need to bring my new lens.

Thanks Guys.

Benson, this image was cropped from the original. I originally wanted a photo of the whole lion, but during post-processing, I decided that I liked this final version better.
