Behind The Lens
Location
I took this on an all day Whale Watch trip with Monterey Bay Whale Watch in Monterey California.Time
Mid morningLighting
Well this began as a color photo, my creative juices began to explode and I did some post editing using an hdr layer.Equipment
Nikon d3100, no flash and no tripod. It was mid morning and the sun was bright. Took it on a fast shutter speed and iso at 1600. Humpback breach shots are pure luck and unexpected.Inspiration
I'm a whale geek and go whale watching often. They are challenging to photograph as any wildlife, yet one of my passions.Editing
Yes, some hdr layering with a lighting effect kin to a rainbow.In my camera bag
Camera, two lenses, extra batteries and memory cards.Feedback
Timing, patience and luck.
