Our 12:15 Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure took us east to San Juan Island. Here our veteran skipper Scott put the Ocean Magic in a wonderful spot to view three Transient Orca. One large male T40 "Captain Hook" and two females T86a & b. We watched as these magnificent mammals worked the shoreline as they cruised by. Their favorite food, Harbour Seals, were in great abundance on the rocky shoreline. Our crew of naturalists Mika, Rhonda and Michaela answered our passengers questions and passed on a wealth on knowledge about Killer Whales and the local marine environment. Once again a wonderful adventure into the wild west coast waters with Prince Of Whales. 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.
