Precious Moments in Nature
May 1, 2022
A young Harbour Seal peeking out at the world beyond from the ocean waters of Burrard Inlet in Vancouver, B.C..
On this particular day while I was photographing birds I spotted a mother seal with her young pup navigating the ocean waters. Seals are curious creatures and I was delighted when this seal pup peeked out at the world beyond with those big sad eyes. Truly a precious moment in nature, and a most memorable moment for me. I captured this image with a Nikon D7100 at a focal length of 300 mm, F4 with a shutter speed of 1/1250 sec and an ISO of 2500.
I am delighted to share that this image was published and awarded on the fine art photography website 1X. It was also featured on Global BC as photo of the week. It remains one of my all time favourite images, and that may be because of the memory of a truly precious moment in nature!
