The Calgary Zoo
Photos
This is a collection of photos from my last few zoo visits; I thought I would share them on here. The best time to get photos at the zoo is right when they open: the animals are most active and the light is usually the most interesting. Try to shoot with something at least 200mm and use large apertures to blur the background and isolate the subject. Doing this will have the added benefit of blurring the fence between you and the animal to the point of it disappearing most times. Always try to shoot from the same eye level as whatever you are shooting and keep the eyes in focus. Sometimes you may have to stay at one exhibit for 10-20 mins before you really get a shot worth keeping; so don’t be discouraged.
Gorgeous pictures!
I love your work! What a gift you have
How fun, the way you capture the expressions of the moods (or create projection opportunities)!
Fantastic photos, as always, love the black and white ones, they are oozing with personality! G
The gorilla portrait is inspired. The way you’ve cropped it and the coloring – just genius.
I agree, gorilla and zebra are my 2 favorite. Great work.
The gorilla is haunting! Great photo. …and the baby tiger – so cute! Spectacular photos all.
These are amazing! Love the gorilla!
Great photos, I love the lighting of the zebra!
AMAZING SHOTS, Dude!!!
Simply AMAZING!!!

That picture of the red panda could single-handedly bring about world peace. Thanks for sharing!
The tigers are nice, but the Zebra is down right awesome.. *smiling*
beautiful…amazing pictures…
All are great shots but love the zebra and gorilla!!
Oh my goodness (!) I’m so excited to see this post! I’m a member at the Calgary Zoo, but I must say – I have never snapped such gorgeous shots of the wildlife there. You have definitely inspired me with your photographs! (I would also need to upgrade my lenses!!) but wow !! Great job – I want to say well done!!
This tells me that I need to get down to the zoo more often!!
Stunning pictures. You really have an eye for photography.
These photos are stunning! You have a true gift!
Beautiful! And great tips re: fence and shooting at eye level. Makes me want to visit our local zoo soon…
Your photography is awesome! I especially love the zebra!!
Stunning photos!

I love the gorilla – such human eyes
A mixture of sorrow and anger in the gorilla’s eyes. — YUR
Those are awesome pictures! The gorilla pic stands out to me though, because I can imagine myself sitting there getting frustrated trying to get a pic like that. Those are all great pics!
Beautiful photos! I love the zebra. I also love that you are so encouraging to other photographers! Your tips are great because photography can be so overwhelming in the beginning.
amazing capture of the wildlife…awesome
the gorilla shot…wow.
These are truly amazing shots!
Love the eyes!! Beautiful collection!

Great Photographs
The picture of the Gorilla is fantastic! Eerily human eyes…Excellent job!
These shots are STUNNING!! You have a real gift.
These are absolutely breathtaking. The zebra and the gorilla are my favorites. How did you get so close to the zebra? Or was it just an amazing zoom lense?
Not your usual zoo visit pics! Love them, and can’t wait to try and employ some of these techniques the next time we visit a zoo. ~ Kat B.
Breathtaking photos. So clear, vivid, and capturing the emotion of the animals. I especially love the eyes of the gorilla. It looks like he looking right at you, saying “What do you want?” Brilliant job.
WOW that shot of the gorilla’s eyes is INCREDIBLE! Kind of spooky, too… so human-like
That picture of the gorilla is haunting. Almost a human expression.
The Zebra is AMAZING! Great work.
uffff….those two cubs!! never seen such photos before!
Stunning. The image of the gorilla is absolutely haunting, and beautiful.
Tigers and Red Panda….my faves! All the photos are amazing!
Thanks!
I was never in Calgary zoo. However, I once was close to it, and saw two belted kingfishers on a wire across the river.
Wow, these are breathtaking.
Beautiful!
wow !
You’re an amazingly good photo artist. It really looks as if you’re sitting right next to some of these animals so it takes the viewer inside there with you even though there’s a fence somewhere in there. Great images and wonderful art
.
The zebra picture absolutely took my breath away. So gorgeous! And that gorilla photo is lovely. It always astounds me how beautiful and emotive their eyes are.
Wow! Great shots!
Wow, these don’t even look like they’re shots from the zoo. More like a wildlife trek. The gorilla photo is haunting! Love it.
You’re absolutely right!!!
This series of shots is excellent. You captured each creature’s unique beauty and I am loving every single one! I could gush more, of course, but shall stop here.
I am, however, very tempted to download and save them as my wallpaper! Great job!
These photos are BEYOND AMAZING! I have no words. The zebra photo was so detailed. And the gorilla just looked so human. Especially the eyes.
i envy your photos. all of them! great shots
Those birds – with both their feet raised identically!
Love these shots! Beautiful photography!
I love these! Great work!
Wow. Very nice! And the animals are all so active! Love the photography advice as well. Do you copyright your photos, and if so, is there an easy way to do it? I’m starting out in the blogging world and would love any tips
Thanks!
Such beautiful details in your photos!
You are so talented. Your photos make me smile. Thanks for that.
Those are really good clicks man! Loved the one with the eyes!! Good blog
Amazing! Every hair on the zebra is seen and accounted for! The gorilla’s eyes are spectacular!
I love the Calgary Zoo! Beautiful images! My favorite is your gorilla image. Soulful eyes.
wow! Amazing photos
The gorilla and zebra photos moved me. Thank you for sharing
I’m sure you have been told this many times. But you, are an AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER. Reminds of my sisters ideas between contrast and depth within the image, having a deeper meaning kind of thing. I am looking forward to seeing more of your fantastic photos here to come.
breathtaking, patrick!!! i’m humbled that you are a follower and reader. your work blows me away – this is particularly stunning!!! the gorilla eyes…. wow.

AMAZING PHOTOS, His talent is far beyond beautiful
Your first picture of the zebra totally blew me away. My dad was an an avid photographer and still dabbles from time to time, but he never had anything as amazing as your zebra photo. It definitely moved me. Thank you for sharing these. I hope you don’t mind if I put my favorites on my Pinterest page as well.

Definitely have a great eye man!
Breath taking picture
… I specifically like the way you captured the expression of the tiger cub, and that of the eyes of the ape.
Wonderful! absolutely wonderful!
I’d almost rather look at these than go to the zoo, and I love the zoo. Fabulous!
These are very touching and captivating images! Thank you for sharing.
These are amazing! I especially love the first pic on top. Simply breathtaking!
Along with everyone else in the world, I love the gorilla. He / she just looks so wise …
Thanks for following my blog! These are breathtaking. The gorilla gives me the chills.
Love all these photos! doesn’t even look like you were in a zoo!! (thanks for the likes on my blog too) Great work!
I live in Edmonton, so the Calgary Zoo is always a yearly trip. Your photos make the zoo appear in ways never before. Absolutely STUNNING. I especially love the zebra shot and of course the tiger’s “PLAYING”. xx
http://thebuttonupblog.com
And I was thinking about uploading pictures from ZOOs in Ostrava, Czech Republic, and Lisbon! Well, now I will have to wait:) I just love the zebra! Best greetings from Lisbon!:)
I almost bought 4 square ones: the zebra, quail (?) with baby quail, gorilla, and wombat (?) (I obviously don’t know my animals). However, as I looked at the “wombat” – I really connected with its gaze – looking yonder and aspiring for more – maybe ready to take a leap. So, I bought it. In metallic. 8 X 10. I’ve never bought a photograph before!! Please feel flattered
I hope, that in supporting your work, you can also consider supporting mine: http://igg.me/p/229037?a=1253505. It’s for me to take a leap, to aspire for more, just how you captured it in that photograph.
Absolutely stunning! I can barely look at the gorilla photo I feel like it can almost see into my soul…amazing, truly beautiful!
The Zebra is definitely my favourite! The collection is very inspiring.
Beautiful photos!
I love the flamingos – beautiful and the reflection in the pond – great job : )
Great photos!
wow these pictures are just so amazing!
Stunning photos! You make me want to take up photography!

the ordering process was so easy but I hope it doesn’t really take 3 weeks for my gorilla shot to get to me because I’ve got a spot picked out for it right over there. It’s a great shot. Scary but also inspirational on a control and use your brain kind of way. I like it.

I hate going to zoo’s…I find them depressing but this really made me smile. Thank you
Hi,
Fantastic photography on your blog, but in this post, the zebra just made my day. Excellent and very “graphic” image.
Beautiful photos! If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have guessed that they were taken in a zoo!
Wow. Just wow.
I reckon it’s all down to your hardworking models!
Beautiful photographs, truly amazing. Love them.
Love that little guy in the second photo. I am guessing by your tags he is a red panda.
All the pictures are absolutely beautiful, but I just love the ‘cats’.
So Beautiful. I am in love with the baby peacock/hen.
There are so many amazing great photos:)
The animals are all lovely and “alive” in those photos
amazing work!
Smashing photos, especially love the tiger ones.
These are beautiful….. they took my breath away.

These are amazing!!

Hi! these pics are wonderful! gorilla’s eyes are so stunning and captivating….wow!!! love zebra and red panda too !!!
really well done!
I love the gorilla shot! Great job!
These are really amazing if I wasn’t like 15 and didn’t own a credit card I’d definitely order. Do you take IOUs?
Love the Red Panda shot!
These are beautiful photos Patrick, unfortunately I do have a thing about zoos! Unless of course they are doing some really good work on animal husbandry and species longevity etc.
Regards
Great advice — note to self . . . do not bring family along or I won’t be able to stay in one spot for too long. They are much too impatient and think I take way too many pictures
Gorgeous photos! The gorilla’s eyes are wise and intense, but the shot of the zebra’s eye really engaged my emotions. For some reason, I can feel his sadness and loneliness through your photo. I also liked how you captured the “spotlight” on one particular flamingo! Thanks for following What About This?, too.
Thanks! It was early morning and the sun was low in the sky. The sun was cutting through small section of trees and I waited until one the flamingos stepped into the light.
Hi Patrick, it is absolutely incredible that you were able to take these photo’s in a Zoo!
The one with the baby cat looking right at the camera took my breath away. The zebra is captivating. These are beautiful. Well done!
Stunning photos as always. I especially like the photos of the zebra and the gorilla – it must be the eyes, they seem to reflect so much.
You’re not only a photographer: you’re a very talented, gifted artist. And a great deal of sensitivity, love and courage is required for this sort of work. You know that a lot better than I do.
Thank you for posting your photos of animals in a Zoo that seem to be running free and living out there in wild life. One wouldn’t even notice the difference if you hadn’t told it.
It’s impossible not to love all photographs, but I have a special passion for photo no. 2. (I don’t know this sweet animal’s name in English, I’m afraid). You kept (framed?) its sweet, tender, but at the same time almost melancholic look, as if it was missing something or / and someone since always. I don’t know why, or I know it too well, but it touched me. It moved me deep inside. And the colours and its accuracy… the photo’s background intentionally unfocused… Only the animal and that eye look mattered… I could write a poem on each photograph of yours. I could even pretend I was that animal! (…)
You must love these creatures to shoot them the way you do. I admire that a lot!
I thank you for sharing this great gift of yours with us. It’s also admirable and noble that you share your knowledge with people, giving tips on this and that… I guess you are aware of the unique person you are… at least I hope it.
Wish you the best. You indeed seem to deserve it!!!

Man these are Awesome! You rock this. I enjoyed viewing these. You can tell they were taken with such passion.. Can’t wait to see more..
Wow wow wow
Beautiful photos! I love the tigers
The pic of the zebra is very beautiful!
The one of the gorilla’s eyes is haunting. The last time I was at the Calgary Zoo, the apes were my favorite part because they were so eerie in how human they seemed. Your photo reminds me of how blurred the line is between us and them, or of how we blur those lines in our desire to humanize them. Awesome photo.
Oh!!!!! So beautiful!!! You make me want to go to the zoo right now!! You have such stirring closeups! And the peahen and chick’s gait is so heartwarmingly identical I almost teared. :’)
As always, magnificent photos! When I have tried taking photos at our local zoo, I have always been stymied by the fences. A photo of a wild animal loses a lot when you are looking through a wire fence.
I am in love with these animals! Amazing work.
These photographs are absolutely beautiful. They are so inspirational and gorgeous to look at. Your talent is magnificent! Thank you for posting and I look forward to more photographs in the future.
fascinating photos of wildlife
You take some amazing pictures! Keep up the traveling and photography. It’s beautiful!
stunning!
Love the red panda. All of them are beautiful.
Just amazing!!! Those zebra eyelashes are incredible
Wow…I love your photos…the flamingoes are divine…
Each is a work of art.
Beautiful!
I love the imagine of the gorilla eyes!
I love the baby tigers!! I played with some in Thailand, too precious!
absolutely stunning! i especially love the zebra photo, just beautiful
Stunning. These photos are wonderful – you captured some great moments!
Wow, these are beautiful
The photos are superb! I love the zebra, the gorilla, the guinea hen and the flamingos. I just wish the animals were loose and you were on safari instead of a zoo.
Beautiful work, and thank you for the tips on how to take pictures at the zoo, love it.
Absolutely love that Zebra photo. And the closeup of the two baby tigers. Phenomenal work.+l
wow, your blog is amazing! good job on the photography
how do you get your blog so popular?
WOW! These are amazing! You have such a gift. The animals are beautiful and you captured their beauty in such an inspiring way!
Thanks for visiting my blog and liking it! And thanks for sharing these pictures!
You have really captured the animals in the moment, I love the flamingo photo with the reflection in the water.. I recently visited the Taipei zoo but due to bad weather we couldn’t go in till midday and very few animals were active then. Great to see someone sharing tips too
Breath taking photos, these are beautiful. I love one where tiger cub is like looking at the camera.
Wow, these are amazing!

Hi, Big thankyou for following my blog and liking my posts! Its a great confidence to see the likes appear…
Your photography is incredible, I will be coming back regularly for updates. Just wonderful
What type of camera do you use to take these picture? They’re absolutely gorgeous.
Hey. Wow. The zebra is spectacular. “Uh-oh” cub is stellar, too. All of them.
The Gorilla’s eyes are rather haunting. Not happy eyes. Might have to spring him. If you hear about a Gorilla from your zoo on the lam, going to the ballet, with some crazy girl. You know nothing, kay?
these pics are awesome, def dont come across this everyday
Fabulous work! The gorilla is chilling and masterfully done…and I love the red panda.
this is A wow…! very well done!
I began looking at the photos before I realized they were taken at a zoo. At first, I thought they’d been taken at some exotic locale, and when I first viewed the gorilla, I THOUGHT IT WAS A HUMAN BEING!
Fantastic photos once again Patrick! The gorilla photo & the zebra. Really emotive, especially the gorilla. I’ll have to do a day trip one day to our local zoo. You really are very talented.
Beautiful! Very inspiring!
Test in patience
wow… you just made those big cat feels like the domestic ones… gorilla looks so…. omg… you’re awesome!
Absolutely beautiful. Red panda is one of my favorites!!
I love these.

That gorilla’s got her eyes right on me!
AmaZZing!!
Just amazing
Love these. my favorite is the gorilla. Those eyes look almost human, eery and beautiful.
These are incredible. It doesn’t even appear you are in a zoo. I know I went there once when I was young. I am from northern Montana, so we we close to Canada. Anyway, you photography is utterly astounding.
Patrick, there is probably nothing I could say that hasn’t already been penned; your photos are amazingly intimate and I think, insightful…I have a thing for gorilla’s in zoos; they are far to knowing to be there. to me, they look like they are in prison. What do you think??
Jess
OMG. I love animal pics and these are phenomenal!!! It’s like we’re hanging out with the beautiful creatures–but without fear of being attacked!
Absolutely stunning photos!
Loved the red panda (my favourite animal!) and the flamingo. Beautiful pictures!

That zebra photo is amazing! And I feel like if I looked into that gorilla’s eyes much longer, I might start to cry … gorgeous work as always!
Incredible shots. Thanks for sharing your tips.
The zebra photo is beautiful
Thanks for sharing your tips
How nice that it doesn’t feel like a zoo…slightly jealous:) really nice crispness and light, animals are such inspiration.
Wow, I wish I had those talents.
I’ve gotta say, I’m tempted by the zebra. Lovely focus on the eyes.

Hi, just dropping by to say I have nominated this blog for One Lovely Blog Award. Check this out. http://www.eyeof1001.wordpress.com or click http://wp.me/p2F4mh-8B. Congratulations!!!
Beautiful photography…stunning!
Thought these shots from the zoo were wonderful. I love the focus on “the windows of the soul”
Great pics. I guess another key thing about getting in as early as possible is the fact that there will be very few people to interfere with photography.
Excellent photos. The eyes have it…on both sides of the lens.
These are stunning: both naturalistic and up-close-and-personal, as though you were there at that particular frozen-in-time moment. They make my heart swell.
These are just simply exquisite photographs. I cannot wait to sit and go through all your others later on when I have some peace and quiet.
Awesome work Patrick!! and great advice for zoo shooting!!
Your photos are amazing all so skilled!! Love them

Fantastic, especially that first image of the zebra!
I like them all, especially the black and white. Great composition, the mood was captured perfectly. Perfecto.
This is purely enchanting. The zebra and gorilla in particular. Beautiful.
Oh my gosh… Those are stunning! Are they going to use some of them in their brochures or on their website perhaps? I love the uniqueness of the zebra one, that cute look in the cubs eye while playing, and the mother baby bird is great. The gorilla is fantastic, though somewhat scary…LOL : D
Very cool. I especially like the bird and her chick–a peahen?
woooooow
That’s some stunning photography right there! Thanks a lot for the follow, I’m gonna check back to your blog regularily.
I think the mama and baby tigers are my fave, with those flamingos a very close second. Beautiful shots!
I think there should be a button to like all of your posts. These pictures are amazing!
Great photos and useful tips… I simply must take time to select a decent camera! But too busy blogging so far…
Fantastic shots!!
The picture of gorilla’s eyes is fascinating. It gives me an unspeakable feeling.
Gorgeous!
Patrick, these are stunning shots! The macro of the gorilla’s face is unbelievable. It’s beautiful and unsettling. I also love the tigers!!! If you ever want to read a fabulous book about the later, The Tiger by John Valliant is a great read.
Breathtaking. Thanks for following and visiting me, looking forward to seeing more of your work and hopefully learning something along the way.

And to think, I was SO pleased that some of my shots from a recent zoo trip just came out relatively clear and with some vibrant colors here and there…you put me to shame! I absolutely love how you captured the soft lighting on the Zebra close up…very delicate, and very difficult. Bravo.
Wow, absolutely stunning! Especially Gorilla and Zebra.
how lovely! the tigers and the snow leopard were especially gorgeous. I love big cats.
All shots are so amazing, especially the zebra and the tigers!
Love. These. Pics.

Awwww … Patrick, I just picked my jaw off the floor. I’m running out of adjectives. Arresting. Beautiful.
All great shots, but my favorite has to be the zebra – excellent composition.
Stunning photos.
Hi Patrick, may I ask you how you obtained those warm tones in your beautiful shots? Was it the camera setting or some post producing work? Thanks for your answer
The photo of the Zebra is hands down one of the best wildlife shots I’ve ever seen.
HI Patrick, I thought I already commented on your awesome page, so If I did — sorry to repeat myself, and if I didn’t, sorry I didn’t click “Post Comment.” But… a) thanks for stopping by ritaLOVEStoWRITE, and b) I’m also LOVIN’ your photography. I agree will Helen above that the Zebra is fabulous, but I also like the gorilla. Great stuff. Keep it coming! Cheers, Rita

I Love your photos!
Beautiful, some of my favourite animals in there!
This is simply beautiful. Amazing work…..wow
I can’t help but look at your work and just marvel at the beauty of the things you capture. It truly is something amazing.
Fierce! Love this post!
I absolutely adore these photos – I usually take so many at the Zoo and they just sit, un-edited, un-seen on my computer. You’ve inspired me to actually do something with them! Thanks as well for your ‘like’ on my post – http://samsmushbanana.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/the-eeyore-effect/. It’s extremely encouraging for someone who has only just started up.
LOVE the one with the gorilla. Those eyes…

I was never intrigued by the Calgary zoo…until now. Great photos.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you for stopping by and following my blog.
Lovely calendar shots. Or is that insulting? I hope not. I frame and decorate with calendar art so it’s an offered compliment.
Unique perspectives.
magnificent …! love your work and your world

The fox cub is my favorite, well they are all wonderful, I also appreciate very much how you share insight and tips on how to make the best pictures, knowing how to is a small step in the right direction!
Patrick – these photos are absolutely amazing! I could look at them over and over. My son is an animal lover and was totally fascinated looking at these. We are going to let him pick a couple and order them for his room. Great and inspiring work you do! Awesome website, too.
