The noon trip on the Ocean Magic promised to be an adventure in the bright sunshine. Our Captain, Gord, took us out into the Strait to find several small families of Transient Killer Whales, the marine mammal eating Orca. We came across two groups hunting seal and porpoises. Their explosive activity was fascinating to watch. With calm, blue water around, it was easy to spot all the marine wildlife. Our trip gaves us good looks at Harbour Seals, California and Steller Sea Lions, Elephant Seal, Dall's Porpoise, and even a very young Transient Killer Whale. September is a great month to go WHALE WATCHING.' Photos by Marie "Orca-Magic"
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.
