Most of us love looking at photos of wild animals, but few of us can afford the expense of a safari to the places where they live in order to take the pictures ourselves. But there is another option available to us. Our local zoo. On June 19, 2009 Bogen Imaging presented a webinar with Julie Larsen Maher, the head photographer for the Wildlife Conservation Society which oversees the major zoos in New York City. This webinar, which might be titled "Safari on a Budget" was replayed at the July DISIG meeting. For those who were unable to see it, I have compiled a list of the many tips and tricks which Julie described along with a few of her superb photos. If you want to see the entire one hour webinar, you can visit the Bogen Café site.
