They were napping on the underside of the wharf in Santa Cruz. This one was practically up against the chain link fence blocking off the beams from the access. I put my camera below the fence and just shot at full auto, guessing on the aim, as it was the only way to get a clean shot from that angle without the fence in the way. While I was photographing him one woman came up and wanted to pet him. I told her not to, that it was a good way to lose a hand. That shot was at 18mm using the 18-250. There's another landing for launching boats where I shot this one at 250: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/4827165629/in/set-72157624454680617/ with no fences. I could have walked right up to them, but even if I trusted myself to not scare, harass or threaten them, with all of the tourists around, I wouldn't have trusted one of them to not do something stupid. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
