It was one of those mornings where one is so glad one decided to go Whale watching. The 9am Zodiac, the first trip out , skimmed across calm water beneath brilliant blue, sun filled skies. Skipper Mark soon found a very sleepy and illusive Humpback Whale south of Race Rocks. The light sparkled on this gentle-giant and its surroundings. It appeared even the shy Harbour Porpoise found it irresistible today, for they could be seen in good numbers. Later we has a report of resident orca coming in from the west. It was a Superpod day, where all three Resident Orca pods join up, J, K , and L. Our time with these magical creatures was spectacular.
Most of the images on the blog are shot with a 400 mm telephoto lens. Because of our restrictions around wildlife (100+ meters), we use powerful lenses to better share orca activity that passengers see on their trips. Keep in mind this also heavily compresses space between objects. We also crop images for best blog viewing.
The videos are generally shot in wide angle and are very realistic to what the eye sees on the boat. Please enjoy the photos for the telephoto view, and the videos for a boat based, real life passenger view.
