Elephant Seals, Seascapes, Shore, and more at Piedras Blancas and San Simeon, CA on January 4, 2024. My wife Char and I shot sharing two cameras. A Pentax K-3 (24MP) with smc-Pentax-FA 100-300mm Lens and a Pentax K-5 (16MP) with a Tamron (K-FA) 18-200mm Lens. Here are 10 of the best 46 I processed of 305 exposures we made that day. They are of Female Elephant Seals, their pups, a few resting males, Gulls, and a few other unidentifiable birds as silhouettes. We did not see any male Elephant Seals fighting, but many females were arguing over nesting locations. Since we were trading equipment back and forth, I don't really know who shot what so I attribute the images to both of us. View full sized and feel free to comment or ask questions. Enjoy.

Thanks. I do. And posted here on the HOG. Actually, two posts from two consecutive days. I would have to search through my posts to find them.

Nicely done. Interesting shots of the seals. Your seascapes are very nice, and I really like #8. Thanks for sharing.
