Such innocent curiousity! What an amazing photo! Brilliant close up. Was this with a telephoto lens? He’s such a pretty, cuddly creature (so are you Eyal!!! LOL!!!) Love it!
Eyal Nahmias replied
Thanks Rusty, I shot this cuddly seal from 5 feet away. I used 80-200/2.8 nikkor lens for it, and I was crawling on my belly. One thing I learned very quickly photographing them and any other wildlife is not to appear taller or larger than they are. It’s quite amazing to be near a one ton bull at a touching distance. The moment I go up a bit they will chase you off.. and you have to be quick…
