My mom and I recently went on a trip to the Indianapolis Zoo. it was a very hot day, so a lot of the animals were hiding when we arrived. However, some of them - mainly the ones who were used to hotter conditions, like elephants or rhinos- were out and ready to pose for me. My mom and I decided to go to the Plains area first because I often get great photos of my favorite animals, including wolves and tigers, but not necessarily the elephants, giraffes, or birds at the zoo.
So we headed to the Plains area and first stopped at the elephant exhibit. The elephants moved their heads to the side so that I could get a few great shots of their eyes up-close. We then traversed to the giraffe exhibit, where I got a wonderful photo of the tall giraffe's spots as it trotted around its exhibit. I also focused on his (or her) face and profile and took as many photos as I could, hoping for at least one great one! From there we walked around the rest of the zoo. When we made our way to the Arctic fox exhibit, we discovered that she (or he) was hiding because it was too hot. That pretty much summed up this particular visit to the zoo! On a brighter note, we found that the flamingos were happy in the heat and I took a great photo of one of the bright pink birds soaking up the rays. This zoo visit shows that even on days when not a lot of animals are out, you can still enjoy yourself and maybe get a few good photos. Animals are very unpredictable, and sometimes you get great pictures and sometimes you won't, but you know that in the process you'll have loads of fun!
