Australian Sea Lions

Again an image out of the 5000+ slides that I have scanned a few weeks ago. I made this image back in 1991, during a 6 week trip across Australia. The image was made at Seal Bay, Kangoroo Isalnd. This bay holds a big population of the australian sea lions. A ranger will guide a group of no more then 12 people in a 45 minute tour through the bay. One will have to photograph what ever comes across, since the tour is very restrictive from the timing and amount of daily visitors...

Contax RTS II, Sigma APO 5.6/400, F8, 1/250s, Velvia, monopod

Scanned with Nikon CoolScan 5000ED

PhotoShop levels, USM, about 10% crop all around...

This is really nice. I love the shiny, smoothness on the one seal! With such a short amount of time - you captured a good image! :wavey:

How fun!!! You just have to wonder what these two were communicating about. I wish I could travel and see the world. Good for you! What memories, huh?
