    Default Wild Harbor Seal



    Low angled shot of a Harbor Seal hauled out on the rocks at Barnegat Lighthouse State Park on the Jersey Shore. It seems to be almost trying to make sense of me.

    Canon EOS 7D
    Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 L IS

    Exposure: 1/1000
    Aperture: F/6.3
    Focal Lengh: 400 mm
    ISO Speed: 200
    EC: +2/3

    Ryan,

    I like the expression on the seal's face. I would selectively lower the luminosity of the highlights on the head. Differences are subtle but noticable when toggled on and off in PS.

    I would also suggest cropping some of the space off the left.

    I reposted with the following in PSCS3:

    Reverse s-curve.
    Shadows/Highlights correction at Shadows 25/25/30, Highlights 68/25/30, Midtone Contrast +32.

    See my tutorial at http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ad.php?t=20434 for more info on these two adjustments.

    Hi Ryan

    For these you need just about perfect light and a good sun angle to illuminate the seal, they are not easy !!! Tech wise would have tried stopping down a little more for dof !! Excellent image !!

    I agree with Alfred. A higher depth of field would be great. You had enough shutter speed to play around. Look forward to more.

    Cheers,
