Don and I took a week off from work, but then Don had to work today after-all, so I spent the day with my 70-300 mm lens. I left the camera on automatic most of the time--which caused a lot of my images to be out of focus either because of a very shallow depth of field, or because of too slow of a shutter speed, or both. I just didn't seem to have the patience today for constant lighting changes--being in and out of shade and then missing a good shot all-together because the setting was wrong--so for spontaneity's sake I settled for automatic. Another day I might try less magnification for greater clarity, but this was fun. I did use a wide angle lens for one shot of a large tree, but found I really needed the long lens for the caged creatures if I was going to have any hope at all of eliminating the cages--not all that much success on that front though. The Orange County Zoo at Irvine Regional Park in Orange has rather finely meshed cages, much to my consternation.
Nearby sign reads "Pony Rides".
