Just Hanging Out

These guys are just off of Spieden Island in the San Juans of Washington state. I shot this with my Canon 40D and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 at ISO 1250 and shutter speed of 1/3000 sec. Spieden Island is privately owned and has no buildings on the island. Over 100 years ago, when it was first purchased, the owners brought in exotic animals from around the world to be hunted. Thankfully, it wasn't popular and they went bankrupt and the animals have been protected ever since. The water in the San Juans is very deep and makes it easy to get close to the islands and photograph the various animals.
