Helpful Posts: Horrible overcast day which got worse as the day progressed. But lots of whales doing their thing. I hope you enjoy. All comments welcome.

Re: More whales jumping about
Wow! I know how hard this is! I watched two whales dancing once and the best I got was a shot of a tail disappearing back into the water,

Re: More whales jumping about
I think I'd be to awestruck in seeing that to think about getting decent photographs. These are excellent.

Re: More whales jumping about
I am the same as Donald here...by the time I remember taking a shot, they would have stopped playing...
All great shots...lucky you!

Re: More whales jumping about
Great series Peter, thanks for sharing
Did you shoot from a boat ?
PS. I have just looked at your previous thread and remembered that you shot from a catamaran .Last edited by bnnrcn; 22nd July 2015 at 08:02 PM.

Re: More whales jumping about
I especially like the first one because of the juxtaposition of the whale and the city background. Well done!

Re: More whales jumping about
Great shots, I'd love to see whales breaching (obviously with camera in hand would be preferable).
The most I've ever seen is the flick of a tail fin as a whale begins its dive. It must be a wonderful experience to experience this.

Re: More whales jumping about
Indeed, great shots! Thanks for sharing.
I was also going to choose the 1st of as my favourite but I think the 2nd is my favourite, simply because you captured the humpback whale on the way back down, incredible timing!

Re: More whales jumping about
What expressions of joy!These are a priceless pictures.
I hope you are considering curating a series of your whale shots. They would look awesome and powerful framed and matted. Donald has displayed his groupings for us before and if you need ideas he might be a good one to talk to.
I have been busy with life and canning and am late to the party. What fun to see these first off!
