Posey Pup
Ohau Stream
New Zealand
This is a shot I wanted to try before I got to Ohau. It's a seal pup at the base of the waterfall taken at high iso with a short exposure combined with a long exposure with a CPL for the rest of the scene. If you've been there, you know that there are many pups constantly splashing in the background and it's pretty dark in there! The polariser made the scene appear nicer overall but really limited the ability to take action shots because of the higher iso needed. Charlotte also became more interested in my tripod than the seals after a while, so we ended up just watching rather than photographing
