Tractor Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I went to the zoo when my wife and kids Sunday. The polar bears were pretty active, swimming and jumping at the crowd into the water. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/IMG_0418a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurkvinny Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Moved. We were there as well, and the boys still won't stop talking about the Polar Bears. They were doing some crazy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Columbus Zoo? The wife just bought a membership there. Can't wait... Neat pic, any more? Yep. I bet Sunday was packed. We buy a 2yr. membership each time. I can't tell you how nice it is to have it. We live 5 minutes from there and go all the time. Feel free to browse my public/family galleries here. Most all pics in the links under this are from our zoo. It's noted where not. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/nature__animals__insects_gallery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Kids love there. We did go twice last year, and now they want to go every weekend. I'll be over at the Monkey cage waiting for something cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be over at the Monkey cage waiting for something cool. We usually go every other week/weekend or so. The Monkey cage is a trip. My son spit soda through is nose and about out his ears when one took a shit, the other touched it and then rubbed-one-out while standing over it. :bangbang: He had tear streaming. Poor kid was only like 6 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Yeah membership is worth not having to wait in line for ever. Sunday the parking lot was full and we were able to walk right up to the gate and get in. I was helping my wife learn more advanced camera settings so I didn't take a lot of photos, just that one of the polar bear and a few of the kids. Wife was snaping away like a bandit though and got some from the underwater viewing area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 We went on Thursday since my son was on spring break. Same thing on Thursday, the Polar Bears were really active. We took tons of pics but haven't uploaded anything yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger1647545502 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 The company I work for made the glass for the underwater viewing area...that stuff was FUN to do. It is MASSIVELY over-built, you could probably spend an hour with a shotgun in there and not get wet... We still have one or two of the rejected pieces sitting about the shop.

Tim Davis Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 A few of mine from Thursday, weather was perfect and most of the animals were out and active. http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/PolarBear.jpg http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/PolarBear1.jpg http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/YawningTiger.jpg http://i984.photobucket.com/albums/ae324/SilverTwinOH/StillYawningTiger.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted April 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I love those tiger shots. What lens? It handled the brightness of the polar bears fringes great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Davis Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I love those tiger shots. What lens? It handled the brightness of the polar bears fringes great. Tamron XR DI 28-300 on a Canon 30D. I'm far from a photographer but it helps a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I love those tiger shots. What lens? It handled the brightness of the polar bears fringes great. My guess was the 75-300 Sorry, I had to play Would try and remove the branch dead center, but that would take a bit more than I have in me tonight. http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/133883457/original.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I obviously need to get you some pics of my car to play with, or better yet, just get the car to you to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
