Wild Again

This past weekend was my birthday. Yes the big 22. My Parents surprised me by getting me a Canon Lens and a Flash. Yes my parents are crazy but Im so lucky to have them support me soo much. So the Canon Lensmy mom got me was...drum roll please...the Canon 100mm to 400mm f.4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Lens. Now do you understand why they are crazy?! Im not sure if i deserve this great of a gift but hey im not gonna say no! :) So already a great gift, my mom topped it off by getting me a Speedlite Flash 580EXII. This was all on top of the Canon 5D my mom bought the beginning of this year. Woo thats a lot to say. So I really want to thank my mother. She is the inspiration and perspiration of all my dreams. I love you. I have to thank my dad too for all his support and guidance. Thanks so heres to them. So i went to the Wild Animal Park again to try my new lens and flash. Had a lot of fun since it was baby season. Enjoy!

The mighty San Diego's Wild Animal Park is one of the best treats for photographers and Animals alike. Photographers can get good pictures as there is less of a cage and glass viewing between them and the subjects. For animals, they are kept in a place like their natural habitat. Here are some picture i took at my last visit.
