First trip past they were all tucked in asleep, at noon they were out and walking around at the zoo.

Location
The photo was taken at the Philadelphia Zoo. We had gone on a trip there and were surprised the Zoo was open. I took the photo because my friend's father is a great lover of flamingos so I wanted to be sure I had a really good shot to send him.Time
We visited the zoo mid morning. The photo was taken right before lunch and during a quiet time with only a few kids running around. It was taken in February of this year.Lighting
The lighting is all natural.Equipment
I used my trusty Canon Sure ShotInspiration
I love the coloring of the flamingos against the gray background. The day was a bit gloomy so their color really popped and I though, I want to capture that to see if I can get a really colorful shot.Editing
NoIn my camera bag
I always have a simple camera and often bring my portable tripod in case I need it.Feedback
I would suggest a few different angles to get things like people out of view. It also helps to minimize the other objects which might appear in the photo which you did not attend.
