Pacific Photographic Society

Join us for a fun and exciting weekday Photo Shoot in the beautiful month of October at the San Diego Zoo! The lighting, weather, and photo ops should all be good. The temperatures and crowds will be less than in the Summer so we should have a great time.

We will meet at the big tree to the right of the entrance in front of the membership booth at 8:30 a.m., do the group photo, go in at 8:45 a.m., go through the turnstiles, and wait to the right. We will enter the Zoo when it opens at 9:00 a.m. sharp. Please be on time! If you are late or lost, do not worry, you can call me Walter on my cell phone at 619-886-7893, and I will tell you where we are, but try not to be late. (As cell phone reception is not good in many areas of the Zoo, I may not answer) Maps are available at the entrance. If you're unfamiliar with the Zoo, take a map. Here is a link to the Zoo website:

Our Route.

Our route will be determined a few days before the shoot and sent out to you. If anyone has any requests for animals they want to photograph, send me a message and I'll do my best to work it in.

Some special notes (Please read this too):

If you RSVP YES, please show up, otherwise, change your RSVP to NO.

Bring walking shoes, water, hats, sunscreen, or whatever you need. A long telephoto zoom is the best lens to bring. You can also pack your lunch if you like.

Correct etiquette for Zoo Passes: If you are a member of the Zoo and have a guest pass that can be used by a non-member, please indicate so when you RSVP. If you need a guest pass, please contact the person offering the guest pass via personal message. If your offered pass has been taken, please indicate so. By following this simple procedure we will avoid generating hundreds of emails. Thank you!

This generosity has helped quite a few people in our photo shoots in the past, as the current admission for non-members is now (gulp) $62.00. Thank you.

Members needing assistance or who have questions can ask me or any other Organizers present. We will be glad to help. There will also be other experienced photographers present willing to help out.

It should be another great day out. If you have any questions, suggestions or ideas you can email Walter by going to my member profile. If you get lost or separated from the group, call my cell phone, 619-886-7893. See you there!

We will meet at the ticket booth and after purchasing tickets, I can give you a tour of the property for those that have never been there before, so you can get an idea of where everything is. Some things are a little hidden. :)
