Shooting Through Fences
Fences may be designed to keep you out, but they don't have to stop you from
creating successful photographs. At the Cape May Zoo in New Jersey I had a
terrific opportunity to photograph a four month old Snow Leopard. In order to
eliminate the unsightly barrier surrounding the habitat, I positioned my lens just
three inches from the wire. By getting that close, the obstruction fell out of focus.
Then with an aperture of f5.6, the shallow depth of field essentially rendered the
fence invisible.
