Species: Eulachon (Smelt) | Location: Kemano River North coast British Columbia , Canada
This photo was taken in the ocean when the Eulachons were staging to get ready to go up the Kemano River to spawn. A number of seals had forces the fish into the shore and were taking turns swimming through the school to feed. I took this photo while laying on my stomach on a ramp down to a dock. These fish only come to the rivers mouth to spawn once a year and some times they spend as little as three days there. For light I had a setting sun off behind and off the my right. Allan
About The Photographer
My name is Allan Colton and my photos are inspired by the immense diversity of the flora and fauna in Northwest British Columbia. Since my childhood in Ocean Falls, I have explored a myriad of landscapes and have sighted the variety of wildlife found in this beautiful area. During this time spent exploring and living on the West Coast, I developed a passion for capturing both the unique expressions displayed by wildlife and the transitory moments of light and colour in photography.
I am also an avid outdoors man who enjoys hiking, boating, diving, and fishing and therefore find many other opportunities to record my sightings with a camera..
