All of these photographs of otters were taken with an old 500 mm f/8 mirror reflex lens. It is a manual focus lens and very hard to control. The depth of field is narrow and I can only hold it steady with a tripod. The otters are often rolling or diving so it is rare to get a shot in focus. Sometimes, though, when they are feeding, a successful shot happens.

Moss Landing Southern Sea Otters
I noticed several shots of southern sea otters as I reviewed my images from 2014. I thought they might make a short series. Otters are popular and seem to be the signature animal for the Monterey Bay area. Their photos are widely used in local advertising. The next few posts will feature shots of otters taken at the Moss Landing harbor.

Boats–Out Of Water 4
Another boat used as decoration by a Moss Landing restaurant. I liked the juxtaposition of the Alyssum flowers and the fishing net.

Boats–Out Of Water
For a period of time, several boats were arrayed around the parking area of a Moss Landing business. The boats were a striking feature for a time but they have since been moved to a different location. September, 2009.

Favorite Images From 2011–Dog On The Beach
Before 2012 fades away, I thought I would look back to a few personal favorite images from 2011 that I haven’t posted here already. 2011 was a productive and prolific year. I added 11,897 images to my catalog. Many came from my trip to Alaska and Canada, and many were bracketed exposures, multiple exposures of the same scene taken at different shutter speeds. I added another large number to separate catalogs for clients or specific assignments. The posts that follow are from my personal catalog and the only criteria they meet is that I like them.
This was taken in January, 2011, at Moss Landing Beach, California.
