The Ocean Magic sailed into calm seas with Capt Tyler at the helm. Our trip took us out west with a tour of Race Rocks Ecological Reserve. We managed to see Stellar Sea Lions, California Sea Lions, Harbor Seals and a few Brown Pelicans. Derek, Shawn "Saltchuck" and Darcy were on hand to share their knowledge and answer all the questions. We then headed south deep into the strait of Juan De Fuca and found some of our Resident Killer Whales. L pod was working the water, looking for their favorite food..salmon. We were treated to a great display of breeching as the whales worked their way west. Another great whale watching adventure on the west coast. Photos by Clint "Orcawizard"
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.
