p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Humpback Whale Sequence


Last Saturday, our whale watching tour boat left Orcas Island here in the WA San Juan Islands and headed northwest to Canadian waters to spot this Humpback whale. It was a blue sky afternoon. We saw the humpy going through it's rise and dive sequence 3 times. This set is from the 3rd rise and dive where the captain was the closest. He was quite good as we had the closest boat out of all 6 tour boats in the immediate area.

I hope I did justice to the moment.

Nice capture John, been to the San Juan Islands 1 time and had the pleasure seeing the orcas, also seen the humpback whale in Alaska.

Hi Ken,
I'm glad you like them. It was a fun day indeed.

Hi Paul,
Thanks! I was hoping for Killer whales but no luck. The weekend before there were transient killer whales hunting the Stellar Sea Lions. I heard it was quite a sight.

Thanks for looking!

Nice sequence, John.
Blue sky, blue ocean, blue/black whale.... And you got the exposures and processing just right.
Well done.
