Bad day
OK...it seemed such a good idea at the time...
I had a free entry to the seal sanctuary and a free day...unfortunately the weather was not on my side. It threw it down all day there was NO way I could get the camera out
There are a couple of indoor underwater areas.. (well..one actually
!) and I had a bit of practice while mum sat on the bench holding the dogs and dripping!
Some shapes in the water....
This little guy was so sad He was in the nursery as a rescued pup
They gave us a free entry if we come back within 14 days so fingers crossed for another free day and some better weather!

Tassle, I'm sure the seals enjoyed your company anyway.
Top tip for when you go back, take a polarising filter - it will reduce/remove any glare from glass or water reflection.

I don;t have any filters yet
methinks they are well worth the investment

Never mind hope your next visit is more successful. Polaroid filters are expensive but are worth it particularly if you are shooting through glass and into water. Mind you it is another thing to fiddle with.

A good polarizing filter will make most outside photos better. Keep in mind there's a wide quality variety in filters. I've upgraded to Quanteray filters at about $40 for a 52mm circular polarizer. It's thinner & causes no vignetting because of that. The Nikon polarizer is about $100. That's a bit above my budget.
