Description

This image was captured in Port Valdez, Alaska during a morning trip to Shoup Glacier.

I cut the motor on the boat and that allowed me to drift close to these sea otters.

I used my 300 mm telephoto lens set at f/4 and 1/1000 shutter speed.



Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1000 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D
