Ít was shaping up to be an incredible July 1st , for Canada Day. We had whales on our first trip out and now the 12.15pm Ocean Magic with the all girl crew, was about to head east and north to catch up with the fast moving whales. Into the sunshine we sailed once again and headed up Haro Strait where we encountered Dall's and Harbour Porpoise that were feeding. J Pod with some of K pod Orca were heading toward Turn Point, Stewart Island and Boundary Pass. It was here that we saw the whales traveling in family groups, racing through the choppy waves. With Mt.Baker in the distance as a back drop for the whales and the gorgeous Island scenery all around, it was truly a memorable trip once again. Our experienced crew shared their knowledge with our happy and excited guests. A few Harbour Seals were also seen on the way back to the harbour. 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.
