I went back again this morning, hopeful that the otters would be there, and indeed they were. The light was a bit better than last night (although still overcast). At one point the curious otters swam almost right up to me. The vertial portait above is full-frame, the others (2 otters in frame) I cropped a bit. 500/4IS; 1.4x; Rebel XTi; ISO 400
Photographing otters is a great way to start a day!
The ice certainly makes it a unique shot.
ReplyDeleteD300s are out - perfect opportunity to switch. New 400, 500 and 600 VRIIs as well.
Hi Ethan! I hope all is going well with packing up and getting ready for your move!! These picts are amazing!!! My fav is the first shot with the two little guys poking their head up... it's almost like they're posing for you!!!

Thanks for the kind words Sharleen, Eric and Markus - I was ecstatic to get these photos.
ReplyDeleteEric, I've got so much invested in my Canon system, and I love the stuff. Switching to Nikon would be financially crazy and unecessary.
Oh I am so jealous! That top shot made me giggle for a good 30 seconds. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Ethan! I tried to sneek up on one of these guys a couple winters ago, but no luck. You nailed 'em!
