Taken off Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick in the Bay of Fundy.

While on a whale watching cruise on a saling vessel I managed to photograph a couple of harbour seals even though most of the time they dove as the boat approached. Despite the water being fairly calm the vessel still rolled making it a bit challenging to get a sharp image while hand holding my Bigma (aka Sigma 50-500mm).

1. Seal 1

2. Seal 2 close-up

3. Seal 1 - a better head turn and nicer reflection.

Great shots. I know how hard it can be to get a good shot off a rolling boat.
