Hi Flexers, We got a call this morning that the whales were passing Thieves Bay and we rushed over. It is hard to get a sense of the size of the animals so this time I tried to include a human for a reference point. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/SummerCanada2011/3WhlsVrtw.jpg.html Two eagles also came by to watch the whales. I was hanging on a ledge and couldn't change my angle to get a better view. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/SummerCanada2011/EaglesW.jpg.html Finally I was rewarded with a tail slap for being patient: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/SummerCanada2011/TailSlapW_001.jpg.html All taken with the GH2 and the 100 - 300 pana zoom, lightly processed in CS 4 and cropped some. Please look large and enjoy.
