During our trip to Tennessee, The Boy and I drove over to the Knoxville Zoo. Since I’ve been wanting to work more on portraits, here are a few from our visit.








(Photos shot with a Nikon D60, using an 18-55mm, 55-200mm, 20mm f/2.8 wide-angle, 50mm f/1.8 prime lens and/or a Nikon CoolPix S205)

I’d have to say the Meerkat, he simply wouldn’t sit still for more than a few seconds. The chimp was hilarious. She was behind a glass wall and could see her reflection, and began making faces at herself. I’m guessing the glass was like a two-way mirror.
