Thank you Deloris. It was a great trip and this was only 1 of the 7 wonderful days we had. Your welcome for the settings, but the best advise if you are going is to use digital and shot fast. #1748267Kate Jackson August 26, 2005
Well done Christy. Great shot! I know how hard it is to get this just right. We did whale watching in New Zealand and Australia. Wish I'd had my present camera then. It is so exhilarating isn't it! I am sure you had a good time. #1768317Christy L. Densmore August 26, 2005
Thank you again Kate. The Naturalist on the boat actually helped by telling us when to start shooting. I have several sequenced shots. It was a great day and wonderful trip. It is hard to really show the emotion or excitment when one of these guys pops up. I would love to see them from the places you did, but will never regret the cost of this trip that is certain. #1769575Birgit Klee September 09, 2005
