I went to La Jolla cove with sunsets on my mind, but once you see a bunch of cute seals wrestling around and being lazy you can’t help but change your focus. If you head out to La Jolla, bring some long glass. I made all these images (full disclosure: the sleeping seals is my wife’s photo) using a Nikon D7000 and Nikon 30-700 VR. The crop factor of the D7000 got us to 400mm which is plenty of lens for photographing these guys and gals. Let your adventure to La Jolla become part wildlife safari!
Photo Tourism Bag
We will continue our week long Photo Tourism adventure with a look at my Photo Tourism bag. I have lots of bags, my wife will not only attest to it, she will openly laugh and taunt me about it. Still, I can’t help myself. I’m always on the lookout for a new photo bag. However, I have had this gem for over a year and it has quenched my bag lust. It is a great little travel companion and the perfect bag for my style of photography. You can find my review of it, including photos of what I carry in it here.











Great shots Justin. I love the middle image with the seal’s expression. I too have a bag problem. I own so many Think Tank bags, I should be a shareowner.
Very cool shots Justin! I love the tight framing of the seals.
Fantastic shots Justin. I picked up a Think Tank retrospective bag a couple of months ago (the 20 I think) that fits one body & lens and space for an extra lens. I love it. It’s a fantastic bag and i think I may need to get the larger one as well.
Thanks Edith, aren’t they great bags… I love them!
At least I am not the only one taunted by my wife about my ThinkTank bag… She calls it my satchel :(
Nice shots man!
It’s European….
Grats on getting that book done, Justin. Very cool!
