Last week’s post did not have space to do justice to the\u00a0\u00a0photos I took of the Enderby Island Sea Lion colony\u00a0so I thought I would share a few more this week. It was quite a powerful scene to witness with the raw aggression of the males, their dominance of the females and indifference to the pups. It was hard not to anthropomorphise things and feel sympathy for the females and pups.<\/p>\n

\"Edin<\/a>
Edin getting a good low angle on a maturing male who felt more at home with the humans watching proceedings from above the beach. This is another example of focus stacking<\/a>, keeping both Edin and Sea Lion in sharp focus with the telephoto lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

See Edins blog post<\/a> for the image she took of this Sea Lion.<\/p>\n

Next week we will continue down the eastern side of Auckland Island and visit the Eastern Rockhopper Penguins of Musgrave Inlet.<\/p>\n
