San Diego Animals

Written on June 16, 2010 Posted in Photography Locations


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 & Dileep Bhandarkar: wonderful, love your new lens! Ann

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

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

Mahesh: 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. :D

Chris Budech: 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.

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

Mahesh: Bev, thank you! It looks like you're an animal lover...nice! :D
