On 18 April join us for a field trip to one of Maryland’s most dynamic wildlife photography locations, The Maryland Zoo.
The Maryland Zoo offers an outstanding opportunity to capture compelling animal portraits, behavioral moments, environmental compositions, and storytelling images, all within a beautifully landscaped, historic park setting.
Morning light is softer and animals are often more active.
