Went on an after hours trip to the Edmonton Valley Zoo on July 8, 2008. For $15, they take you a bit more behind the scenes, down the staff access areas and even open up some of the cages for even closer looks at the animals (as was the instance for the Red Pandas).

I’d love to go again, maybe next time I’ll rent a 70-200mm f/2.8L zoom lens, had some good shots but a lot of noise due to shooting at 1600 ISO.

Be sure to check out the set as I add more over the next couple days!
