These past 2 weeks have been fantastic. Humpback whales have been feeding on herring everywhere. So while the whales collects the herring the orca is hunting on the edge. This was a young animal. Several big ones followed right behind this fresh young orca. A fantastic day to be outside and see these animals. Safe trip wherever you are headed.

great timing on this one. Maybe it's my monitor but the sky appears to be pixilated though.

There is some noise in this image. And it is cropped a lot. So yes the quality is not the best. But the moment was excellent. Shot handheld with the 70-200 f/4 @f/4,iso640, 1/200s
So I am happy that it turned out this good

I actually got the sequence of the head, middle that you see here and the last with the tail above the surface

Thank you. It has now been a weeks since I took this. Many people have been out with their boat. Surrounded by 10s of orcas.
Yet nobody have managed to catch them airborne
So this was a lucky moment :)
