Day 232: Icy Straight, part 9

There are so many great Whale photos from Icy Straight that I am just going to post a bunch of singles and move on to other parts of the cruise.  You may see some of these again as parts of series of photos. I love seeing the barnacles on these fins! ~Curtis, Whalin’ in Alaska! […]

Day 231: 15 minutes ago…

I took this photo in our front yard about 15 minutes ago.  I cropped it to 1440×960.  The image is full sized.  I didn’t do anything else to it.  I love this lens. (1/1500s f/5.6 ISO320 300mm (70-300mm L)Canon 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 230: Icy Straight, part 8

Details of a Whale slap! We were so close that most of these I had to reduce in size: a 100% crop wouldn’t fit on the screen! *** *** *** *** *** *** ~Curtis, Whalin’ in Alaska! {!-{>

Day 229: Icy Straight, part 7

These aren’t particularly good photos, but they do show how close we were and some of the activity. A closeup of the photo above. *** Another detail.  Note the fin is tagged! *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ~Curtis, Whalin’ in Alaska! {!-{>

Day 228: Icy Straight, part 6

(Resized because it was so close that even reduced for my blog it wouldn’t all fit on the screen!) ~Curtis, Whalin’ in Alaska! {!-{>
