@pschiller WOW! Did you get *really* physically close or are you using a big zoom?

@KingShawn Both!! 90 to 280mm zoom lens. We stood close enough that we had to step back when a large male approached and moved across the spot we were standing on.

@pschiller "...we had to step back when a large male approached..."

LOL I can imagine! Those things are MASSIVE. I love the one shot you posted - looked like the elephant seal was posing for you. :)

@pschiller @KingShawn based on these four photos it would appear that at least one of them “literally can’t even right now.” Great shots!
