This is another series of shots I took of the whales in the ocean off Maui. These were all taken with a Sigma 150-500mm lens at 500mm and these shots are cropped 50%. This whale was way out there and I was shooting from the shore on these.
I shot 12 photos in this series but I am only posting the four because these show the best "action". I thought this whale was going to get completely out of the water but he/she didn't. It was real close but the tail never cleared the surface.
such a great spectacle to witness!
ReplyDeleteHuge, powerful mammals! What an effort they must put out to be able to launch themseleves out of the water like this.
ReplyDeleteThese pics are your best yet of whales jumping from the water. Very nice!
That must have been quite a sight! I agree with Parker, these are great photos and what a mammal. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! MJ in the South Pacific.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of pictures, you are getting some very impressive results with your Sigma 150-500 teamed up with your D300!
ReplyDeleteWow. Fantastic. You sure got this one.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter we can see the tail, it's always so exciting to see these beautiful animals free in the ocean! :)
