Long Exposure Porpoise
The porpoise was riding the pressure wave and I went to take a snap without checking the exposure time - probably about half a second. John Harvey Photo > Learn Photography > Learn Giving Up > Long Exposure Porpoise

Dive Sequence
At this location, the whales would come up to the surface and breath about 5 to 8 times and then dive again, generally for 6 to 8 minuets. You can tell there last breath at the surface because you would see the hump back, and then the tail as they go down. Species: Megaptera novaeangliae (Humpback Whale)

Fluke And Flippers
They don't always dive straight down, or surface just to breath. We saw this pair just rolling around at the surface before a dive. Species: Megaptera novaeangliae (Humpback Whale)
