On a recent week-end trip to "The Rock" we had great weather, and took a "dolphin-watch" trip out into Gibraltar Bay, where they almost guaranty sightings...
Sure enough - "common" dolphins by the bucket load. These guys just love to ride the pressure waves created by the bow of the boat/ship. In the second shot, you can see 7 of them riding the bow wave...
Still trying to get a good "predictive focus" going with my 300D without using the default Sports Mode (which defaults to ISO 400 - too grainy...), so C&C werlcome & appreciated.

Great captures! Dolphins are so much fun to watch. They really seem to enjoy themselves!

I was out there three months ago and your shots have come out much better than mine.
The first shot is excellent with good colour and detail but the second shot is magic, with all the dolphins lined up.
