Sorry Karl, this was Scott Kelby’s worldwide photowalk and not a MacGroup event. Therefore the information was posted on the official site: http://worldwidephotowalk.com

Terry, I am sorry to missed the deadline, I browsed the MacGroup website daily but did not find any reverence for the walk submission side not even a hint where to look for the submissions.
Maybe I will get it right next year.

Hi Terry,
I was wondering what are we going to do with the photos from our
Zoo photo walk.

If you are very close to the fence with your lens and your point of focus is farther away(in feet) the fence will often seem to disappear if you shoot at a wide aperature. FYI. Paul

Thanks, Terry! I need to revisit our zoo with “new eyes” and see how many animals I can photograph without shooting through a wire screen.

Lynn, thanks!

Whenever I shoot in a Zoo, my goal is to never show the fences. I want to create the illusion that the animals are in the wild as best I can. It usually means careful composition or cropping in post.

Hey, Terry – Love your photos! How did you deal with shooting through cages?

No problems.

In my community, the local zoo prohibits “professional” photographers. I had been told this before I went down and did a personal photowalk; sure enough, that’s what it says on the entrance sign. I was told to expect to be hassled for having a DSLR, expect to be refused admission with a tripod.

I didn’t try a tripod, but no one said a word about my DSLR and I got some good shots, had a good time. I wonder what they’d say about 50 Kelby Photowalkers?

So I guess everyone in your group was ok with paying an entrance fee?
