Splish Splash: Canon 1D Mark IV, Canon 400mm f/5.6L
I’m finally getting around to post-processing my non-pelican animal shots from San Diego and La Jolla. Most of the bird images were taken at San Diego Zoo’s Wild Animal Park, a fantastic venue to watch animals in their “natural” environment. The opening image of the blog was taken at the La Jolla Cove. I just love that blissful expression on the seal’s face as the splash of water engulfs her.

Ann, thanks for the comment! The 600mm was a hoot to use. I’ve since sold it and am toting the 800mm now. 😀

Mahesh, these are stunning as usual! Love the blue eye of the cormorant, and the languid pose of the male lion. Thanks for sharing.

Dianna, great to hear from you! I love that shot of the lion too. At the Wild Animal Park, they have a broken down Range Rover in the lion exhibit, and the male loves to rest on top of it. 😀

Really cool, I’m a bird watcher of sorts–like the
White-Headed Lapwing.
Audubon could have used your services! I just read a biography of him.

These are the best yet–I love the baby elephant, his face really is a baby face.
Nice lens work.
