Posted by judylobo in Big Cats, Nature, photography, Snow Leopard, Wildlife, Zoo.1 comment so far
Wildlife Photography – New Price and an Additional Hour at the Apple Store
Some new and exciting news about this Spring’s photo class taking place at the Central Park Zoo on May 22nd. We have added an additional hour to the class where we will take the short walk to the Apple Store on 5th Ave. and 59th St. for a private photo editing workshop with the Apple staff. You’ll learn to edit your zoo photos and then engage in a group analysis of some of the participants’ photos.
In this class, taught by me, you’ll learn how to apply knowledge of animal behavior to wildlife photography to get the perfect shot. After reviewing some of the tricks of the trade while enjoying a continental breakfast, you will photograph the zoo animals in the spring weather – all before the zoo opens. We will also have special animal guests and will stage some of our animals so that you can take their picture – all part of this unique experience. You’ll also have time to photograph the myriad of roses and peonies in the Central Garden. A collage of the best shots from each student will be emailed to the group. Personal digital camera required.
To see some of my photography, visit my website or take a look at the Winter Photography class photo album on the Central Park Zoo Facebook Page.
Date & Time: Sunday, May 22 9:00 – noon
Fee: $60 members, $70 non-members
Registration will be accepted via the web only. No drop-in or phone registration will be accepted. If you have any questions regarding registration or programs, please contact the registrar at cpzregistration@wcs.org or call 212-439-6583 and press option 4.

An early March visit to the Prospect Park Zoo was filled with surprises including my spotting one of their red-eyed tree frogs staring right back at me. The visit was terrific but that one treat made it even more special. The Prospect Park Zoo has a growing collection that is well worth your time.

Happy Valentine’s Day (a day early). Woo at the Zoo is a common theme this year. Lots of snuggling, kanoodling and nesting going on all over the animal world. See if you can spot two in the animal kingdom who live at Casa Lobo amongst the other furry and feathery faces. Yes, it is not hard to spot both Madison the cat and Benny the dog.
And don’t forget – today is the second of four early opening hour Sundays for photographers at the Central Park Zoo. Get your tickets at 9 AM at the gate and enjoy the Zoo an hour before opening to capture the beauty of the Zoo’s collection. I’ll be there.
Watch the funny animals in love video below today’s montage.
