Another Galápagos Sea Lion

By Sean Crane | Published January 11, 2013

I was going to post a shot from Australia or Madagascar or Costa Rica or some place else in the world besides Ecuador, but than I saw this photo and I said, yeah, I need to post that one tonight. This young sea lion was full of confidence as it confronted the front of my camera, protecting its mother in the background.

Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 lens (at 35mm) ISO 800, f/11 at 1/160th of a second

One of the many things I love about your photography is the ‘human’ factor you capture in the animal world. This shot personifies that.
