Capt. Tyler took the 'Ocean Magic 2' out of the harbour and east past Discovery Island , across Haro Strait and on to Salmon Bank, off San Juan Island. It was here that we encountered three male Orca of L Pod. They were seen foraging. The salmon were jumping high out of the water. L 41 'Mega' was off on his own and chasing fish. A couple of Dall's Porpoise were seen briefly in the same vicinity. Our naturalists on board, Mika, Arleigh and Marnie gave a full account of the wildlife to be found in this area. Although the afternoon had clouded in, our guests were thrilled with their first wildlife adventure with Prince of Whales. 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.
