Oakland Zoo 2009

After breakfast we drove straight to our local zoo. While I told Sandy it was to see the animals… really it was a test for the 7D.

Got a chance to test out my new 7D. It has an APS-C sized sensor. Why would I go away from a full frame sensor? Speed and shooting on the telephoto end, that’s why. This morning we walked to LaPinata and unfortunately it was a bit gloomy so there wasn’t very much activity except for …

Serial

They say one of the traits of a serial killer is the pleasure they derive from torturing animals. Yesterday while feeding the ducks I placed a plastic decoy duck over they’re food bin to see how long it would take for them to realize it was a fake. Those chicken ducks never figured it out, …
