The San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park
Katherine and David are long time members of the Zoological society of San Diego. We spend many weekends at the Zoo downtown and the WAP just outside of Escondido.
The Lion Cubs – all seven of them – were out in April of 2008 when David stopped by to take a few photos. They were having lots of fun with their moms. A fun time was had by all, including the people watching.
The Wild Animal Park
In October of 2006 David took some High Dynamic Range (HDR) photographs around the WAP. These are noted as HDR on the description on each photo in the album. Compare these 2 photos, the first is the HDR version, the second is a ‘normal’ exposure of the same picture.
Note the background colors and the depth of the shadows in this picture. For a large size of these pictures, click here.
Note the lack of colors in the clouds and the loss of details in the shadows. This is the reason for using HDR photography. It isn’t for everything, but it can make a difference when used well.
A walk around the Wild Animal Park in early April 2010 reveals signs of spring, including Birds making nests, lions making noise and Coots feeding their babies.
Riding on the back of a truck at the Wild Animal Park is always fun. You meet some interesting people and get to take some fun photos. This collection was taken in Late July 2010 including several babies one of them a 4 day old Rhino.
