San Francisco Zoo

This week, Rachel and I visited the San Francisco Zoo.  It was our first trip to this zoo and overall I was impressed.  The location is ideal, right across from the beach.  The zoo is significantly smaller than the one in San Diego, but still has a large and interesting assortment of animals.  However, a few of the animals did appear to have noticeable deformities such as the bald eagle with one wing.

In preparation for our zoo trip, I rented a telephoto lens from BorrowLenses.com.  The great thing about BorrowLenses is that the main headquarters is only about 20 minutes from home, so I can pick up the order and save on shipping.  I decided to rent the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L lens because it seemed like the ideal focal length for shooting at the zoo and was less than $40 to rent for a week.  This was my first time using one of Canon's top shelf L-series lenses and I liked it.  However, I would not purchase this particular lens because it serves a specific niche focal range that I would probably not use too often.

Below are some pictures of the animals at the SF Zoo.  Thank you for reading and take care!
