After a trip cancellation earlier in the week due to bad weather, I finally got to take to the high seas and do a spot of Whale watching.
It was a glorious day and we saw LOTS of whales. Unfortunately I only had a 200mm lens on my camera but we were able to get quite close to these lovely creatures so there were a few decent snaps to be had.
The boat charter guy even put down a sonic listening microphone thingy, so we were able to hear them chattering amongst themselves. How fabulous!!
Anyway, here are a few pictures for you to enjoy!
I love the shot of the tail fin! I smiled as I looked at these - I went on a whale watch in Maine a number of years ago. We saw quite a few whales, but I was so seasick, I couldn't maintain my balance long enough to shoot! I'm glad to see that you were able to capture these wonderful creatures! Hugs, Terri

Such great photos! The one time I went whale watching, we didn't get near any - but we did have a great day at sea.

Fantastic shots!
Just on the doorstep, all this fun in the water. Mind you I wouldn't be dipping a toe in the ocean whilst the migration is still on. Things with sharp teeth and all that...

looks like the 200mm did quite well to me. I like this layout of photos & typography too.
