Detroit Zoo

Last week's Friday morning was taken up by a trip to the Detroit Zoo to give some animal photography a shot. This was my first foray into shooting any members of the animal kingdom, so any comments and suggestions are welcome! These were all shot with the D7100 and the Tamron 70-200 VC

I guess he was in a crappy mood from having his picture taken so much...
