I had the photo opportunity I had been waiting for all week for. Sunday morning we went on our last kayak trip of the week. The tide was going out and the sun was shining. It was ideal conditions for seals to haul themselves out on the rocks. I had the Pentax k2000 with the 55-200mm lens and video camera with me in the kayak.
Eileen and I approached using the “small pine grove” island as cover. As I expected, they were skittish and many of them slipped off into the water.
This little guy crawled back up to sun and was watching Eileen as I slowly floated around the end of the island for the photo.
I like the composition of this shot since it has a seal, seagull and lobster buoy.
This is another good shot where I got pretty close to a seal without him getting skittish. Its a nice profile of the seal with a house across the bay in the background.
