Los Angeles Zoo

Two more shots from the trip to the Los Angeles Zoo. This is the same Tiger I posted last week with a more vibrant edit. The Gorilla was an adult male Silverback and he was massive.

I have a ton of photos from the zoo and the trip to California in general that I will be posting to the Random Photography page as I work through them.

An African Crowned Eagle and Steller’s Sea Eagle from the Los Angeles Zoo. Not the best shots as they were taken through fences and I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to use a flash. This was the firs time I had seen an eagle in person. I knew they were big but I was still surprised at just how large they really are.

Wild Animals (sort of)

Today we enjoyed the Los Angeles Zoo. It has been a long, long time since I have been to a zoo so it was a lot of fun. I had never seen a tiger, lion or eagle in person. I can check them all

Tiger_stare — What a beautiful creature. We still prefer Oshie.

Lion_sleeping — This Lion had the right idea in the SoCal summer sun.

off the list now. Here are two of the photos. I am working with limited equipment so more will come when I get back to my main computer in NC.

Mississippi Kite?

I took this photograph early Friday morning of last week. Initially I thought it might be a Red Shouldered Hawk because they are always around the neighborhood but then I notice the coloring was different and it let me get a lot closer. After a little internet search I am going to guess Mississippi Kite but I could be wrong.

Shot with my Canon 7d Mark 2 and Tamron 70-300mm lens at 300mm. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

A New Milestone

1 year of blogging! If you had told me over a year ago that I would be a blogger, I would have called you crazy. Sometimes I still can’t believe I have one. I have to admit it has been fun and I am looking forward to continuing to share my photos and stories about Oshie with you all. Thanks to everyone who has followed the site and also those that just stop by to comment and view my images. Cheers and happy blogging!
