Location

I took this photo on Victory Beach Otago Peninsula New Zealand .About 5 min from home and a bit of a paddle by kiyak.

Time

I must have taken it about mid afternoon, it was a few years ago so I don't know the exact time.

Lighting

It was a beautiful sunny day in the middle of summer, I used a polarized filter.

Equipment

I used my Canon 60d with a 18 - 200mm zoom lens.

Inspiration

I am a big fan of the New Zealand Hooker Sea Iion and this puppy was adorable. These sea lions are wild animals but I do have a really good bond with them. I love them.

Editing

I cropped the photo to get him in frame plus his mum was there beside him as you can see in my other photo Mother and Son.

In my camera bag

I just have a camera, the lens I mentioned before and filter in my bag with remote shutter gear which all goes into a dry bag for the kiyak.

Feedback

I always use a zoom. Summer is a good time with more of them in the second half of summer. The law says no closer than 6 - 10m but l do know them and they know me. Remember they are wild animals and if threatened, they will attack so be careful.
