La Jolla Cove has way too many tourists, but it's a great place to get relatively close to shorebirds and sea lions amid some pretty spectacular scenery.
I took all three of the above shots with my 55-200mm telephoto lens on my Nikon D5100 -- probably about 20 feet or so from the brown pelicans. My lens is in bad shape and can be hard to focus, but the light was good and I was close, so I got some decent shots.
I cropped the top shot pretty heavily to get rid of some other pelicans that were slightly out of focus. The bottom two photos didn't require much work. I think I like the middle one best although having the photo's primary subjects on the righthand and lefthand side of the frame with nothing but background in the middle is unusual.
Check out more of my work on my SmugMug site -- prints are available for very affordable prices -- and follow my ramblings and online utterances on Twitter.
