deviantART's Wildlife photography

Sun May 24, 2009, 4:59 PM
  • Mood: Neutral
  • Listening to: Weighty Ghost - Wintersleep
I'm kind of annoyed when I go to look through the wild animal photography gallery and find majority of the photographs are of animals in zoos. You wouldn't find me complaining if deviantART decided to make a separate category in the Animals gallery for zoos.

Taking pictures of wild animals in nature is so different than photographing them in zoos or in a game farm (more zoo than game farm, but you get my point). I would think most people browsing through the wild animal gallery would actually prefer seeing the pictures of animals that were photographed in their natural homes. It shows that the photographer not only appreciates them there but some are motivated to actually go out and find them as they are in their homes.
I'm not complaining about the zoo photos and saying they aren't real pictures or anything (there are some amazing pictures taken of animals in zoos), but it's not the same.
