It was a lovely day to go seek the whales. Blue skies and calm waters made it all the more enjoyable. Even with a litte fog that created ''mystical moments'' the 4 Transient killer whales, the T30's, that were found south of Victoria kept those on board Mark's Zodiac, enthralled. The whales were seen in a resting formation, heading slowly toward Seattle way. With our intrepid skipper at the helm, we left the Transients and headed west to find a Humpback whale. It too was rather sleepy and wasn't in any hurry to show us its lukes. We left the 'Humpy' and made a quick stop to look at California and Steller Sea Lions at Race Rocks, then headed back to Victoria with a happy boat load of visitors. 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.
