Catching Some Rays

While shooting surfers with my underwater housing, this curious seal came swimming by. He hung out and watched me for a while, so I went swimming over to him. He didn't seem to mind when I reached out and touched his fin. And he certainly wasn't camera shy.

    Now how did you pull that off - It looks like your camera is submerged.

    hey thanks guys. Lucky indeed to live by the sea, I practiucally live in the sea I'm there so often. Yeah, I am in the water with a Canon 20D. I have a water-proof housing covering the camera.One of the kind used for surf photography with a big handle and switch.

    Mucho thanks! Thats funny Adrian. I actually labeled it as a sea lion when I first captured it. But later thought it was a seal. I supose it's time to change it back. Ehh, on the other hand I think I'll leave it so people can laugh at me.
