The one disappointment Friday was that we got to the fur seal colony near the tip of New Zealand’s Otago Peninsula so late in the day. I had to crank my camera all the way up to 12,800 ISO, which necessarily introduced digital noise in the images. That’s quite a bit more than than the 100 ISO I usually use, but the time was 8:06 p.m., and my camera could see what my eyes couldn’t.

On Saturday morning, however, I had better light to see the fur seals. I cruised along the coast of the peninsula in a ship that approached a seal colony.

These seals have a dense layer of fur underneath their visible hairs. We do it the other way around.
