Photographing at the San Diego Zoo
(Read the full article...)"Even if you are not a world traveler, get great shots of animals from all over the world in this famous zoo." Although the San Diego Zoo is an old zoo, and many species are confined behind bars for display only, the zoo is converting it to more natural settings. It is one of the nation's top-rated zoos. My purpose in this column is to tell you what's possible there photographically, and there are many golden opportunities. As always, get to the zoo early so that you are there when it opens at 9:00 a.m. There are less crowds and less heat, and it does get warm, even in winter.
