The Ideal Time of Day
To avoid being hurried by
busloads of impatient tourists,
I generally recommend arriving
when the zoo first opens. This
is particularly helpful when
visiting popular creatures like
the Panda in Washington DC's
National Zoo. On a Sunday
afternoon for example, it's
nearly impossible to catch a
glimpse of your subject without
someone stepping in your
frame. As an added benefit,
many animals are more active
early in the day. You may even
be lucky enough to witness
and photograph the action at
feeding time.
