Well, I finally managed to whittle down my collection of sea otter images from the recent outing to Elkhorn Slough. I am pretty pleased with the number of good shots that I got. I figured I would do the Sea Otters first, and next Pelicans (maybe tomorrow?) and finally the rest of everything. I quickly picked out 10 of the Sea Otter images that I think are "keepers", so I'll post those here.
All images here were taken handheld with my 20D. All but one were using the 500mm f/4L IS. The other image was with the 400mm f/5.6L. As usual, all EXIF data should be intact.
What an entertaining series with some great, crisp shots, Ed. Amazing color and detail through out, a pleasure to view. I like them all, but #7 has a special feel.
I just sent my 20 D in for repair. I did somthing stupid and I missed up the display. As soon as it gets back I'll put it back to work.
Thanks for sharing,
Socrate
These are outstanding. Great job hand-holding the 500!!! I got a real kick (lol) when I saw #5 and your title. They are all so sharp and yet have a sense of action. #7 and 9 would also be among my very favorites. Nice, nice job on these!! Looking forward to the rest.
Absolutely terrific shots, Ed - well done indeed, especially hand-held with the 500!! Wish I could have joined you guys there - sounds like a super-fun trip.

Spectacular images, Ed! That 500 really rocks on a 20D!

Thanks Bert. It's been a good combination for me - but I'm really looking for to the Mk III. The better AF system is what I'm after there - plus the high ISO performance won't hurt either

Thanks Socrate. Yeah, the mother and pup (cub? whelp?) were really cool to see in person. The photos don't do them justice - at least mine don't
Good luck with the 20D. I know how I get when I don't have a camera around!

I appreciate the kind words Cris. The otters are so anthropomorphic - it's not hard to make up the captions.

fantastic! I love "go fish" in particular. great color and detail throughout the series.
Thanks Steve. That guy's hand expression really reminds me of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. I probably should used the caption "Eeeeexcellent!", except I'm not sure if everyone would have gotten it.
