Wonderful shots. I love the NC Zoo, go as often as I can. I could spend all day watching the elephants.

I wonder if you are familiar with Nick Brandt's elephant photographs. I like where you went with the crop in #3.

Maggiemae, Great shot's of the elephants...
May I ask what lens you used. I know at the NC Zoo these guys are usually off at a great distance....
My wife and I went up ( we are in Waxhaw) to the Zoo over the Easter break, but we didn't even get in...at least a 2 hr wait in line, we well try another time...
Side note...saw in today's Charlotte Observer that Ramar the first ever Gorilla at the NC Zoo dies at the Chicago Zoo.....He was 50

Thank you Bill. I love the exhibit for the safari animals at this zoo. It is huge and really looks like they are on the safari.

I was using the 70-200mm Nikon lens. I was very fortunate to be there first thing in the morning and they were actually quite close to the viewing area. I didn't think I was going to be able to get pictures of them because on previous visits they always have been way out. I did not know that about the gorilla. I wasn't able to get any good shots of the gorillas.

I looked up Nick Brandt! His photography is powerful. I would love to be that talented. I love his use of b&w. Thank you for the tip. I really enjoyed looking at his work!
