seals at la jolla cove

[jeff lapoint]

got to sneak away for a few minutes on sunday to take a few photos. these guys were in the shade of the breakwater at high tide so i had to dodge salt spray (as well as tourists). processed these on my laptop with PS elements...hope everything is calibrated ok...

thanks for stopping by steve, your comments are always appreciatedhttp://dgrin.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif. yeah, this dude was giving me the stink eye for being nosey during his nap time. i will have to dock some points as this is a seal and not a sea lionhttp://dgrin.com/images/smilies/blbl.gif (i love being a deputy on the biology police force). very common mistake--one i used to make constantly on the marine bio exams in college...here's an ok linkage (http://www.sfgate.com/getoutside/pinnipeds.html) for our collective future ref.

These are all very nice, I like the lighting very much. Don't tell me about salt spray, I have a daylight filter on the end of my lens and I'm constantly wiping it off! Good thing I wear contact lenses or my glasses would be coated too.
