Toronto Photography Meetup Group

What: Trip to the Toronto Zoo!
Where: Toronto Zoo http://torontozoo.ca/
When: Sunday July 8th, 9:30AM meeting time at the front entrance.
Bring: General Admission is $25, Parking $10 (good opportunity to car pool)

I haven't been to the zoo in ages and this summer is proving to be quite good weather wise. Bring water, good walking shoes and gear. There are places to eat inside but bringing snacks and WATER is always an excellent idea. The Zoo is highlighting Stingrays, White Tigers and African Penguins! Take a look at the website to see whats going.

edited by Maureen to include the date in the title for easier reference

Definitely would be interested in going - its been a little while since I've been and it's always fun!! Just won't know if the date works until closer to the event.

I went there last weekend and it's a good place for shooting! Don't forget your polarizing filter because of the many windows...
And if you have a solution for the (too) many fences

I love going to the zoo. Sorry I won't be able to make this outing as my son is getting married that weekend.

Congratulations!

or people being eaten by people... Lay off the bath salts!

Oh man! Who booked this on the Silverstone F1 GP weekend?!

So far, it is looking promising - I haven't been asked to work this weekend yet.

Didn't you already admonish her for booking it on Toronto Indy weekend?

You might as well add ALMS at Lime Rock and MotoGP in Germany.

Sorry I can't make it, Ashley. To make up for it, I might post only fake car photos at the Indy for that day

ohh geesh! You boys and your cars. I'm just happy that for once on a Sunday I don't have to watch Jeff Gordon lose in nascar and Jensen Button lose in F1. My favs never win. So off to the zoo we go! Hopefully see you at an event soon Ben.

Forgot to add that if those on the "Maybe" list could please confirm whether they are attending or not? Thanks

Jeff Gordon? His last cup win was 2001. I am rooting for Smoke to defend his title!

I have confirmed - the zoo I go - preferrably I'd like to not be eating in general though, regardless of the beast.

I do have to work om Sunday after all.

I just found out I may be going to Canada's Wonderland on Sunday. I'll know for sure tomorrow. No wonderland - zoo here I come.

J.

man, i wish I can go, havent been for the past 10+ years.

I know this is really last minute, but it looks like I'll be there too.

Hi guys, we are missing a few people. If you are at the zoo and not with the group you can pm me and ill send u my cell #

Thanks Ashley for organizing!!! Great day at the zoo, I think I even got a few keepers.

J.

Agreed! Great event! It's been a while since I've got that many keepers out of a day.

Pretty cliché but still pretty. Also, pretty close to SOOC:

Hopefully four or five more later this week.

Don't forget to add your shots from day's event to the TPMG Flickr Group Event Photo Pool with TPMG as a tag.

Excellent day if I do say so myself! We lucked out with the weather, not too hot at all.

It was nice meeting you Sunday Ron.

Wow, that jellyfish shot looks like it was taken in a studio. Great job! It's been years since I posted a photo, lets see if I get it right...
Nop, can't seem to get it posted.

Let's try this again...






Looks like I got it figured out.

Thanks Ron.

There are directions on how to post a photo here.
