In the afternoon we headed to another of my favorite beaches and pretty much struck out on birds. Many folks hung with me photographing patterns in the sandstone rocks while learning and utilizing my flower technique: Av mode with Live View for mirror lock and 2-second self timer and either AEB or in-camera HDR. Lots of folks stayed with Denise and photographed the big pier. We all got together to photograph the meg-sunset we had been hoping for. It was well worth the wait. <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/wp-content\/gallery\/general\/brown-pelican-scratching-_r7a3747-la-jolla-ca.jpg\" class='shutterset'><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/wp-content\/gallery\/general\/brown-pelican-scratching-_r7a3747-la-jolla-ca.jpg\" alt=\"brown-pelican-scratching-_r7a3747-la-jolla-ca\" title=\"brown-pelican-scratching-_r7a3747-la-jolla-ca\" width=800 \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Here is another one that was created at La Jolla, CA on Day 2 of the 2016 San Diego IPT, this one with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorphotogear.com\/search.php?search_query=indurogrand&#038;rfsn=132487.5cf37.9906\">Induro<\/a> GIT 304L\/<a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=274\">Mongoose M3.6<\/a>-mounted <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/754507-USA\/Canon_5124B002_500mm_f_4L_EF_IS.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA5004LISEF2\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA5004LISEF2\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EF 500mm f\/4L IS II USM lens<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1119027-REG\/canon_0582c002_eos_5ds_r_dslr.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE5DSR\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE5DSR\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS 5DS R.<\/a> ISO 500.

In addition to the pelican primer, there is great info on the best beaches for the gorgeous gulls, on Marbled Godwit, on the lower cliffs, Lesser Scaup, and Wood and Ring-necked Ducks as well.  <\/p>\n<p>Learn more or purchase your copy <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=70\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n<h3>Please Remember to use our Affiliate Links \ud83d\ude42<\/h3>\n<p>To show your appreciation for my continuing efforts here, we ask, as always, that you get in the habit of using my B&#038;H affiliate links on the right side of the blog for all of your photo and electronics purchases.
