The Zoo (2008)

Started with a photo expedition with Ctein and Timprov in June to the Minnesota Zoo. Then another expedition in October, and it looks like yet another one with somewhat different participants in November, too.

This was shot under fairly extreme conditions, using the "Here Be Dragons" ISO setting (H.02) on my D700. And clearly I could have used both a faster shutter speed and more depth of field. I think these guys may be related to the famous "ice weasels".
