Whale

[Darcy Grizzle]

My first time seeing a whale, they told me it was a humpback. Can't really tell myself . Alaska outside of Juneau. I know one thing, on the ship you need at least a 600 with a monopod, my 16-300 was just not enough zoom!

Nice tail

That looks awesome!

Did you crop this? It looks really sweet here.

One thing about going to a 600mm, it means your shutter speed will have to be faster then if you were shooting at 300mm. I would rather shoot a little wider and a little faster like you did here.

Yes it is cropped , I can't even post the seal or otter pics. For fb they were okay but you can't really see them cropped, just little specks of brown.

These are huge crops just so you can barely tell what animal it is LOL

Nice tail sht . I went out for my first whale watch. They are not an easy subject. If they are not playing and breaching, you don't see much.

You are not kidding, we actually saw lots but only spouts & they didn't show up good between the fog & how far away they were . thank you Joe
