New Orleans Part 3

This is the second part of my visit to the New Orleans Zoo.  As mentioned before, I learned it takes a lot of patience to shoot wildlife.

Pelicans

He's hard to see but there is a raccoon on top of this rusted out car.

This Black Bear was having a great time in the water.

New Orleans Part 2

This post consist of part one of photos from the New Orleans Zoo.

The Zoo is really nice plus there is an Aquarium there as well.

Just inside the entrance of the Zoo is this line of Palm Trees

Flamingos

I learned you have to have a lot of patience when taking photos of animals, This big guy finally turned around to allow me get take his portrait.

He also really knows how to relax but then again what else is he going to do.

This one reminded me of a drunk wino lending against a building.

Baby Orangutan

It took awhile but this adult Orangutan finally gave a little show.

Seems to be a traffic jam on the log.

New Orleans Part 1

A couple of weeks ago myself and several other photographers made a trip to New Orleans to do some shooting.  We originally were going to the old abandoned Six Flags, but had to abandon those plans.  The next stop was the Audubon Park and Zoo.
It was a hot, miserable day but we had fun nonetheless and it was a productive day.  These are a few of the shots I got in the park.  I will do pat 2 & 3 after this which will consist primarily of the zoo.
Be sure to leave a comment and enjoy!
