I think there were some offered during the week, but I had previous engagements and couldn&#8217;t attend those.  This time, things worked out so that I was able to go.<\/p>\n<p>I walked through the front gates at the zoo just at 7 AM and gathered with the group around Predator Ridge.  The session was limited to 25 photographers and I think that&#8217;s how many were there.  Dave Parsons, staff photographer at the zoo, met us there and gave a brief overview of the event.  We were free to roam the grounds, and if we were interested, around 8:15 some animals would be brought out in the Wildlife Theater for photographic opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>With the zoo opening at 9 AM, this meant that the usual crowds would be absent.  This allowed us to use our tripods without getting in the way of any other visitors.<\/p>\n<p>I think I managed to capture a few keepers.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brianhudzik.com\/webs\/photos\/\" title=\"Denver Zoo Photography\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to view the web photo gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday May 28, 2008 I went to an early morning photography session at the Denver Zoo.
