I’m the kind of person who goes on a vacation to any place based on how good the local zoo is. Some of my favorite zoos are the Singapore Zoo, the Bali Zoo and the San Diego Zoo. Every decent zoo has an exhibit of a few of the big cats (tigers, lions, leopards). These are usually my favorite animals to photograph at the zoo as they are often very difficult to capture in the wild. You also don’t have the same freedom while shooting in the wild as you do in the zoo. Here is a guide to getting great pictures of these majestic creatures at the zoo.
