I was back at Taronga Zoo again tonight for a special preview night for “Lights for the Wild“.
Tigers Roar
NIKON D750 + 12.0 mm f/2.8 @ 12 mm, 1/30 sec at f/4, ISO 1600
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
The fantastic new content from Ample Projects was on display on the Zoo’s heritage-listed main entrance.
Water ‘n Ice
NIKON D750 + 12.0 mm f/2.8 @ 12 mm, 1/15 sec at f/4, ISO 1600
Inside it was time to check out the horde of giant multimedia light sculptures – also from Ample Projects.
Pine Life
NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 17 mm, 1/4 sec at f/8, ISO 100
Little Devils
NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 35 mm, 1 sec at f/8, ISO 100
Seeking Ants
NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 16 mm, 5 sec at f/13, ISO 100
Including a giant interactive Port Jackson Shark that will literally swallow you whole :).
Shaaaark
NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 16 mm, 1 sec at f/8, ISO 100
Each of these incredible installations and light sculptures tells a fascinating tale about conservation. Discover the stories about these beautiful animals and learn how the zoo is working to help save 10 species from extinction over the next 10 years.
Familiar Faces
NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 22 mm, 1/25 sec at f/7.1, ISO 800
Beedom
NIKON D750 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 23 mm, 1/2 sec at f/9, ISO 100
If you get the chance to visit the zoo this year one evening for Vivid I can highly recommend it. The kids will love it. It all starts this Friday night May 26 2017 @ 16:30PM through to Saturday June 17 2017 21:30PM.
