Yes, I know that going to the zoo to photograph wildlife is basically cheating. But I've been sick of being stuck inside and we got an extremely rare 70 degree day for February in Buffalo, so I decided to head down to the zoo for a several hour photo walk to get some fresh air and put my new D500 through some more testing. The animals were enjoying the weather as much as I was, and were more active than I've ever seen zoo animals before.
As far as the camera, I'm still blown away. It's exceeding my expectations. Anyway here's some of my favorite shots from the day. If you'd like to see the whole gallery (34 Photos) on my website, click here.
Thanks for looking!
1.) Big Horn Sheep
2.) Playful Lion Cub
3.) Siberian Tiger. This is nearly a 100% crop and really demonstrates the sharpness of the Tamron 70-200 2.8+D500 Combo
4.)

6.) Caught this guy itching his ear with a twig. This one might be my favorite.
7.) Cockroaches
8.) Lunch Time. Had action shots of him chomping down, but they were too overexposed to save. Highlights on the splashing water reflected too much light.
9.) Arctic Fox's nap time
10.) Almost missed this guy hiding in the trees. The Buffalo zoo has a pretty incredible indoor rainforest exhibit.
