Big Cats in Black & White


On a recent trip to the San Diego Zoo, I discovered most of the big cats were awake — trick is to get there early, as they sleep upwards of eighteen hours per day. I captured these big cats using my 70-300mm DSLR lens and thought it would be fun to use them for Cee’s Black & White Challenge (CBWC). As it turns out, I think some of the details on these cats look better in black and white, and it helped with hiding some of the unavoidable fencing or glass enclosures in the photos.


Check out some of my other blog posts about my favorite animals at the zoo:

I am an avid nature and ecology lover and enjoy sharing my photography in my blog writings. I will often be out early in the morning or late in the evening with my camera, trying to capture the peacefulness and beauty around me.
