Humpback Whale

[ehughes]

Got this a few weeks back a few miles out from Morro Bay Ca.
This beg fellow swam circles around the boat for about an hour, what a blast.

Wow! What a shot. Very clear for what must have been a very long lens.

Nice.

Hey Ed,

Love the tail action and the birds in the scene. Having tried shooting some dolphins last weekend I know these shots ain't that easy.

Today I've seen hawks, monkeys, a bald eagle and now a humpback whale, I haven't even left the office yet!
Thanks, an amazing shot :thumb

Very nice shot :thumb Man, it must have been a tough one too. Not only were you probably using a telephoto, but you also had to contend with the motion of the boat. Good work :clap

I agree with Gubbs. This place is like a trip to the zoo, without leaving our chairs :wink

Great Shot! I can't imagine what it would be like to have something that large swimming around a boat!
