Nat Hab's 2024 Guest Photo Contest

Location: Galapagos Islands, Ecuador , Ecuador

Two young seals just enjoying a day at the beach. The shot was taken low at their level to connect with but with a long lens so as not disturb these animals. Wide open aperture gave the shallow depth-of-field to bring attention to their faces. The Galapagos Islands certainly is one of the few places where you can connect so easily with wildlife.

About The Photographer

I started into 35mm film photography, inspired by my grandfather. Through late high school and college, I shot family and other life experiences. Then for years, family, career, and life in general just took over my energy. With time I went back, first in SLR film, then digital. Retirement brought more adventures and travel with wonderful photographic opportunities.
