Location
this was taken while on a trip to the Galapagos Islands, December of 08.Time
Late afternoon about 5:00PM.Lighting
High clouds somewhat diffused the light.Equipment
I was using a Nikon at the time, a D80 I believe with a 70-300mm lens.Inspiration
The wildlife on the islands are amazing, they have no fear of humans and are easily approached. This seal pup was enjoying the surf.Editing
Minimal processing in Lightroom, reduced highlights and opened up shadows and cropped in a bit.In my camera bag
I now shoot with a Sony A6500 when traveling with a variety of Sony lenses.Feedback
If you have the opportunity to travel to the Galapagos Islands be sure to bring plenty of film or cards.
