I few weeks ago I was I was fortunate enough to spend a week shooting in Southeastern Ohio with Monte Nagler, a fine art photographer from the Detroit area whose work is in galleries all over the country. 6 days and over 1500 clicks later, I think a pulled in quite a good amount of photographs. The best part of the trip may have been the diversity of the photographs and locations we were able to shoot. Our trip started out in Columbus, OH. We spent day 1 at the Columbus Zoo and day 2 was the Franklin Conservatory. Days 3 and 4 were at Hocking Hills State Park and days 5 and 6 were in Holmes County home to about 60,000 Amish.
There was just too much to include in just one post. Day one at the Columbus Zoo was overcast and raining, perfect for photographing animals (no harsh shadows). We were told later, that the Columbus Zoo is one of the top rated zoos in the country. And zoos are great places to take photos of animals. Some the ones below were shot through glass ( with plenty of kid’s fingerprints). I highly recommend a photographic journey through a Zoo.
This tiger face was taken through glass.
This polar bear was also taken through glass.
Just liked the color combo of the pink/orange and the green.
