That seal has quite a set of pearly whites.

Kudos to him again.

Quite an old thread to bring up!

I brought it up because the NPR broadcast was on today.

Quite an old thread to bring up!

But yes, they do make lenses that large in white!

Yeah, still an awesome video. I instantly noted that it was a Canon when I saw the massive white lens.

I don't think Nikon ever made white lenses that huge before. There are white Nikkor lenses though.

Too bad he's a Canut :^(

I think the Leopard Seal knew this and that's why it kept bringing Gentoo's closer to him so his 1Dmk3 could focus better, lol ;^)

Oh right the video....

That's the type of stuff that makes me want to be a photographer! What an amazing experience, and such beautiful photos! Too bad he's a Canut :^(

Yeah, today I came home from school and there was like a crazy number of posts and topics to catch up on! I looked at the interesting stuff and skipped over the things that were getting old (D700-and/or-D300 people make up your mind already!) ;^)
