Elephant Seals on Beach in San Simeon, California



Today John and I took the doggies and drove thirty minutes north on Highway 1 to a beach north of San Simeon to look at the elephant seals. This is molting season. The brown ones are molting. The silvery ones have already molted.

Hi Levonne,

I'm jealous about you being so close to somewhere with sea lions just there to go ad look at! The HDR look is built in to photoshop, I'd try and explain it but it's probably best to give you a link to a tutorial:

Mine isn't a great example, I'm glad you like it though. It works best with things that have lots of fine detail.
Hope you get to have fun with this :o)
