Grey Seal Pup

Hi all

Spent the morning at my local seal colony (rookery?) and fired a few thousand pixels at this entertaining chap. Great fun, but boy was it cold - lying on frozen sand is not fun! Had to call it a day after two hours when I lost all feeling in my feet and started involentary convulsing! This fella however just happily snoozed away - I think he's designed better than me!

PS I was the only photographer on the beach. Happy days

Canon 1dIII 500mm +1.4

Hi Simon,

It's a lovely well composed shot, showing a very sweet looking animal, doing something sweet.

Probably is a good idea to come home when you start showing signs of hypothermia, if you were on your own, lucky it didn't get more serious

Hi Simon,

Think this one has the cute factor! Lovely shot!

Was certainly great light your way at the weekend - and you and he have made the most of it.

Lovely shot with very nice colours

Isnt it just great when you have the place to your self. The cold most certainly kept people away. Salthouse in the afternoon was just the same. What a relief.
It obvoiusly gave you great time to compose and photograph a very cuty looking animal.
Nice one.

A very attractive image Simon. The pup looks very relaxed.

Very nice indeed, it is good that you had the beach to yourself, DN it most certainly aint....

Like this one Simon, really cute pose. He's certainly better designed for warmth but bet he couldn't hold a 500mm
