This is fantastic capture Kathy! Wow! I would love to capture sometimes something like that. How close he was to you, what lens did you use? Amazing details! #1388577

Hi, I was in a small boat, using a 300 lens. You have to stay a 100 feet away from whales..hard to get, as you never know when they are going to come up! Usually you get tired, put your camera down and then they jump! LOL! #9490637

Welcome to our islands..I know, we miss them when they are gone. I can sit on my Lanai with a scope and watch them when they are here. #10247290
