How To Feed A Giraffe -- Four Images

The Brevard Zoo is one of a very small number of zoos that allows visitors to hand-feed giraffes at giraffe eye-level.

I tried to use the famous Buz Kiefer technique in the third image:

but unfortunately my lens only focuses to 7.5 feet.

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/200s f/4.5 at 80.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wonderful captures! Great that you can feed them - just have to watch out for their long and slimy tongues! The third image is my favorite.

What a neat zoo! Fantastic giraffe shots, Jay..but if I had to choose, the 3rd one would be my favorite! Love that fuzzy nose. Excellent textures and exposure, and some really fun captures. V~
