Surf and Turf

I had the chance to spend the weekend in San Diego. Saturday at the Safari Park and Sunday at Scripps Aquiarium. Got to test out the new camera and lens. How did I do for all natural lighting?

you done good

Love the first one...what settings did you use?

Wonderful!

I live about 100 miles from San Diego and keep meaning to go to the Scripps aquarium and now I have extra inspiration. Nice photo!

#1 is a very impressive photo - especially for just using available light. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys Seriously though, Scripps is a small venue, but they have some very nice exhibits. For $12 I think you can get your monies worth.

Thanks for the exif data..I have that same lens you are using, except i have the t2i. I will try to use those settings next time i visit the aquarium

Oh, did you use a tripod or monopod?

It was hand held. I decided to go for TV mode to keep the shutter reasonable for handholding. The IS is also a big help.

#1 is my fav

First pic : wonderful creature and well taken
