p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · La Jolla Cove

La Jolla Cove in San Diego is teeming with life this time of year, with Pelicans and Brandt's Cormorants in breeding colors, seals and sea lions galore. These are a few of the many shots I took learning my new A7RV, I still have lots to learn about it!

Comments and Suggestions welcome,
Bob

Bob, Congratulations on the new camera! You certainly have figured out the settings to get these lovely shots.

The cormorants bringing in the nesting material are wonderful . The portrait of the cormorant with that stunning eye, complimentary soft background and lighting is stunning.
Love the breeding colors on the pelican.

Nicely done sir.

Excellent set of photos!

I agree there are some good photo opportunities at La Jolla Cove, but finding a place to park is a challenge.
