Otter Cuteness

Yes, well, what is cuter or easier than an otter…Sea Otters at Moss Landing, CA in this case? There were 35 or 40 of them lounging, feeding, playing on the early morning when I visited, easily within range of the Zeiss PhotoScope at 40x. The under otter here was attempting initiate some play, but the upper otter was not totally engaged. Under otter persisted and play did ensue.

Zeiss PhotoScope at 40x (1600mm equivalent field of view). 1/350th sec. @ ISO 100. Metered at about f5.2.

Added Clarity and Vibrance in Lightroom. Blackpoint to the right. Sharpen Landscapes preset.

From Zeiss PhotoScope 85FL.

And the video version, taken by holding a small Sanyo HD Video camera up to the eyepiece of the PhotoScope.
