My wife and I went to the San Diego Zoo a few days ago on a beautiful day with wonderful low directional light. I love this time of year for shooting outdoors without flash.
Other pictures that I have taken at our world famous zoo are in my San Diego Zoo album.

I've taken quite a few Bird pictures over the years and I have over 400 of them in my Birds album.
A shot of a very coy and shy flamingo at the Darmstadt Vivarium. You decide yourself, whether he or she is pretty...

Up at the north of Kenya are several lakes, the largest being Lake Naivasha. However, the biggest attractions are at three other smaller lakes, Elementaita, Bogoria and Nakuru.
At the time of our travel, the largest flamingo colony was at Lake Bogoria. I took several hundreds of photos, which is very easy to do with the 1DX in the machine gun mode.
Here is a selection that includes both big picture and close up shots. Some of them look repetitive, of course, but I've tried to pick images with different shapes, colors and textures.
No need to feel compelled to comment on them all – I hope you just enjoy seeing them!

Up to two million flamingos frequent the shores of Kenya’s Lake Nakuru. Over the last decades the flamingos have disappeared and returned again and again. Their presence seems to depend on the lake’s water level and the related number of algae which are their principal food.
Blijf het toch bijzonder vinden om deze mooie vogels te fotograferen in Nederland.
Helaas wat grijs weer vanmorgen.
I've taken on too many new projects recently so I decided it'd be nice to build something quick and simple to mix things up a little whilst I worked on the more complex models.
Here's a small scene based around a Sony PS-F5/9 record player (also known as the Flamingo). After all, who doesn't love a bit of music?
