Brown Pelican

by Tom Grey

Gallery: AvianPosted January 11, 20062,226 views27 comments
Another vacation picture from the seawall in La Paz, Baja California Sur. You can get excellent fish tacos, the company of locals promenading, and lovely views of the harbor there, and it's also a good spot to photograph pelicans, herons, shorebirds, gulls and terns.

20D, 400/5.6; 1/3200, f/5.6, ISO 200; ec -0.7. Monopod.

Great shot Tom. Reminds me that I seriously need to go on vacation myself. :smile:

Judging by the water line, the shot needs to be rotated a little ccw.
