Yes, very exciting to be out on the channel with so many around.
It is tough to do photos......I never know where they will come up from & they turn in all different directions underwater so getting some decent shots from a rocking raft can be a real pain. I was happy enough with these..... :)

Incredible photos!

Are all (most) of those with the 300/f4?

All with the 300mm f/4 plus a 1.4 teleconverter. I made the decision based on other trips & decided if they came up to the raft I would just hang over the side & enjoy them close up. In years past I took 2 camera bodies with a 24-70 lens but I really never used it. I try only to photograph about 25% of what I see because I don't really like to watch whales from a view finder.
