About a month ago, I was in Winnipeg. Unsurprisingly, every time I visit a new city, I want to visit the zoo, so I checked out Assinboine for the second time. As before, I had other plans, and did not spend as much time there as I would otherwise have liked. However, it was a fun (though lonely) time, and I got some decent photos.
The set it here, but I'll be sharing highlights for several days. In a break with my normal pattern, I'm going to start sharing from the end of the set, as those are the most impressive.
See, lots of zoos have bats. However, this is the only zoo I've been to that has two chambers and encourages the bats to fly between them and through this little bat-friendly hole. This is ideal for me, as I can set up my cameras, prefocus my camera, and just click away whenever a bat comes by. This was the first time I have tried this technique, so there are some rough spots (needed a smaller aperture, tripod, remote release, light stands, etc), but the good news is that these are the best bat photos I've ever been able to take.
I hope you like them.
