p.1 #1 · The Bronx Zoo NYC


It looks like we are sharing Zoo shots today?

My inlaws live in NYC and when ever we go I always look for a reason to get out of the house

These were taken a couple month's ago on a trip.

The effect on the lions were done in camera by underexposing and using a ton of flash.....

Thanks for taking the time to look.

These made me say "Wow" outloud
very nice, I really like the effect on the Lions and for me, the Monkey shot is as they say, a "Wallhanger" just really stunning the look on the closest one and then the "Hey, what you doing" in the background, again, Wow

Great job on these, they are quite dramatic with that flash combo.

Not thinking Zoo, these look more studio portrait and I mean that as a compliment Very rustic feel and powerful look, I like them.

Great shots Joe... Really like the effects on the 2 lion portrait shots..Do you recall what those last guys (pic 3) are called?? They have some very human expressions, don't they? Once again, very nice shots... Its a great zoo isn't it..? I've always gone in dead of summer, but went last week and the animals definitly seemed more active then they do on them hot days.

Joe...just how much is, "a ton of flash"? Multiple flash or just one really big one?

OBTW...SFCC member?

Thanks for the comments my friends.

The Flash technique is pretty simple and I learned it by reading Hot shot diaries by Joe McNalley.

I underexposed and used an SB-800 and set the flash and camera to high speed sync (FP Mode). I maxed out the flash at +3 on the flash compensation. I also used a diffuser.

Omar.... Hey Bud....how are you.... Yes SFCC member.

Cheers and thanks again, Joe
