Description

Taken at the Cincinnati Zoo on an overcast day. 70-300mm zoom lens in the 70mm focal range, tripod, 400 speed film. I was setting up for a distant shot as usual and when I looked up this guy was approaching (which was really rare - but it was a very quiet day at the zoo with no one else around so he was checking out the camera :) I had just enough time to adjust the zoom and "grab" this head shot before he retreated...

Great capture, Marie, it is hard to get a shot of these guys, usually they are hanging out in the water with only there noses showing! #2307222
