There was the guy in my photo and a White Tiger in that exhibit. The Lion exhibit was the only one sans Bars and Wire Mesh.. Only my experience shooting motorsports through fencing allowed me to capture that big Tiger. Shortly after that shot he wandered into the shade at the back of that exhibit to join the White Tiger relaxing out of the hot sun.. Definitely not the Zoo experience I was looking for!! :negativenod:

Lessons learned

You would like the Arizona/Sonora Desert Museum in Tucson. Truly a unique 'zoo'. It only deals with plants and animals found in the Arizona/Sonara Desert. The enclosures are all designed for fencless photography although they have had to put plexiglass in front of prearie dog enclosur to stop people feeding them. They have one large enclosure with Javelina and Coyote that for all practical purposes have no fence. It has a cable barrier to keep you on the trail and several feet behind that it has a fence kile chicken wire except it is hand made from stainless steel the size of piano wire. You have to look VERY hard to even see it. They have a very large walkin aviary of all kinds of birds. They also have a walkin aviary of only Hummingbirds. Many varieties and many nesting. You can get some fantastic opportunities at almost any part of the 'museum'. I have been a member over 30 years, one of my favorite places. The Reid Park Zoo in Tucson is also one of the best small zoo's I have ever seen and I've been to San Diego,Columbus,St.Louis,Portland and many other large zoos for comparison. The Tucson zoo does not compete with the ASDM as it has only animals NOT found in the A/S Desert. The Nasville,Tn zoo also gets a thumbs up as one of the most Photographer and best displayed small zoos I've seen. You might gather ,I like zoo's.

I found the Detroit Zoo pretty photography friendly for the most part, I guess I'll have to continue searching the New England area for better opportunities???

Nice shot Ray, you should be happy with that one, which is more than the fly will be if the Tiger gets fed up with it.

All this "zoo chat" has motivated me to plan a fall trip to the Toronto Zoo. It's about 200k away but a lot of the animals are in large enclosures with moats rather than chain link. This makes for better shots. I'll probably use my D5100 and Tameron 18-270 and a Sigma 8-16 with a mono pod for shooting.

Better then teeth marks of course .. Happy shooting :thumbsup:
