Abstract

The article reports on capturing the movements of whales in great detail through photography. Suggested gear for shooting brief, above-water whale behaviors are 70-200mm f/2.8 lens with image stabilizer, neck strap, and a camera with a high burst rate. The importance of the camera's autofocus (AF) system is emphasized as there is no time to change focus points. Underwater shots are reportedly an exciting way to photograph whales. Some locations where one can have whale encounters are Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest.
