This one is from my recent trip to the Galapagos Islands. We were swimming with the

sea lions and they were moving into and out of a shadowed area caused by a nearby

cliff. Whenever they went into the dark area I was getting pretty slow shutter speeds

due to the lack of light. I decided to try some panning/motion blur shots as they swam

below me. On this particular exposure, I was able to keep the focus point on the sea

lion’s head to get sharp focus on the eyes while blurring out the colorful sea floor. The

circular blur was caused by the 8 inch dome port on my Ikelite housing. Thanks for any

comments (and click for larger view). Thanks.
