It was the Lion Camp exhibit at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego, CA. Great place to take wildlife photographs.

Wonderful shot! It's nice you found one awake. I've heard they can sleep up to 20 hrs. a day. I wish I was a lion...

I think I'm already well on my way to becoming one...

And I just noticed in your signature you have an EOS 20D. Great camera! I have one myself and I love it. I just wish I had a couple more lenses for mine.

trinity-77 In reply to badman22 [2005-05-13 03:36:59 +0000 UTC]

i couldn't agree more. the 20D is like my baby and i too need more lenses. they are just super expensive. least the ones i want are. LOL L Glass =

I know what you mean. Why get a 20D and then buy cheap lenses for it? It's the same reason I want new lenses, but haven't gotten any yet. But one of these days I will...

I hope you do too.

What a lovely shot! This fella looks rather content with life don't he!!

I like the proportions in this shot i.e. the ratio between lion, rock and sky. It is nicely balanced and the simple frame sets it all off nicely. It is slightly out of focus (ever so slightly), but I guess you must have been zoomed-in quite a bit, so that's fair enough - *cough* plus i'm a crap photographer so I can't really criticise!!

trinity-77 In reply to vitamin-c [2005-05-13 03:31:44 +0000 UTC]

oh yeah... i think i was zoomed in at about 400mm.

and thank you for your comment. i actually took this one keeping composition and such in mind.

Is it possible that this lovely kitty is a she and not a he? Just curious if you know for sure. It's a gorgeous shot and anyone who likes shooting (with a camera lens!!) big cats, has to be divine. Meow.

trinity-77 In reply to CinKat [2005-05-01 17:55:30 +0000 UTC]

it's a male cub. he was kind enough to give us all a good shot of the hind exteriors.

OH! That is proof enough! not many female cats going for the sex change operation in the zoos I don't think. **giggle

Thank you so much.

but it's a male cub. it's the new cub exhibit they have at the wild animal park. he gave us a good shot of his *cough* hindquarters... so that's the only way i know.

it's actually kinda cute. the cheetah is the opposite side of the canyon.. and he's often seen staring at all the giraffe.

it was at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego. Similar to a zoo... but bigger 'housing' and more natural environments. so no cages.
