Shooting Animals at the Zoo

Calm down PETA. Relax Greenpeace. No animals were harmed in the creation of this blog post. On Tuesday night, my wife and I had the opportunity to photograph some of the animals at the Edmonton Valley Zoo. Throughout the summer, the zoo offers after-hours photography sessions which provides you with special access to the zoo and it’s inhabitants. We were able to see several amazing creatures including Emus, Snow Leopards, Porcupines, Muir Cats, Wolves, and Lemurs. The most exciting part of the night was when we were allowed into the cage with the Red Pandas. Our group was the first group outside of the zookeepers who had been allowed into the enclosure. Below are a few shots from the evening.
