This Labor Day, my wife, our 10 month old and I got out to the Columbus Zoo and spent some time in the children’s petting zoo area where we met some baby goats, sheep and horses. The petting zoo at the Columbus Zoo is called “My Barn” and has adult and baby goats and sheep...

Seagulls at Rockland and Bristol, Maine

posted by CEGPhoto

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit Maine on a couple of occasions and one things I always remember is how many seagulls there are along the coastal areas…and how big they are! I’m sure they can get so big because of the quantity and quality of fresh fish around but I’m amazed at just how big they can get, especially compared to the seagulls we see here in landlocked central Ohio.   The seagulls that you’ll find along Coastal Maine are easily 2x as big as their little cousins near me, who only get to feed from the smaller lakes, rivers, reservoirs and on the discarded food scraps from us humans.   By...

Darts and Pool: Barroom Games

posted by CEGPhoto

First, I’ve gotta say, its been a looong time since I’ve been out to a bar or club to see a band and play darts or pool so know that these photos are a few years old. 🙂 A friend and former co-worker of mine is a drummer and one of the bands he plays with is The Signal. When we still worked together I would go to their shows with other friends and co-workers, enjoy the music, enjoy the drinks and take some photos. It was fun and I grew to like taking photos in the dark bar setting because I got to use my fast prime lenses with no flash. It was a good exercise in finding the best exposure and keeping a still, steady hand.  ...

Baby Elephant and Mother, Columbus Zoo.

posted by CEGPhoto

Few things get the same kind of universal response as photos of baby animals so today I’m going to try for a good response with these photos of a baby elephant and its mother at the Columbus Zoo in Columbus, Ohio. The baby elephant in the picture is Beco (pronounced BEE-co) and he was born at the Columbus Zoo on March 27, 2009. Because baby animals at the Columbus Zoo (or any zoo) are such a big deal, when Beco was born the zoo held a contest and let people submit their favorite names for the baby elephant. Over 11,000 entries were received and the zoo celebrated in a big way by announcing the baby elephant’s name on...

Animals at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

posted by CEGPhoto

The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is consistently rated as one of the best zoos in the U.S. and is a point of pride for Central Ohio. Much of the zoo’s success is due to the work of former Director, and current Director Emeritus, “Jungle” Jack Hanna. The zoo is home to over 700 different species of animals and houses over 9,000 animals in total! Ready to meet some of them?   The Columbus Zoo sits on land adjacent to the Scioto River.  So, while not official zoo residents, seagulls like those in the photo to the right, are everywhere. That photo was actually taken several years ago, prior to a lot of the zoo’s recent...
