Location
This photo was taken in Vava'u in Tonga close to a huge cliff.Time
It was around midday. The mother was 'logging' on the surface! Her calf kept circling and then laid down on the face. One of the best encounters I had with Humpback Whales.Lighting
Water color was a bit violet and it was overcast that day.Equipment
I used my Sony RX100M3 in my Ikelite housing.Inspiration
I enjoyed the time I spent with these Mother and Calf. They were very calm and let me take a great shot of them before leaving.Editing
I just fixed the white balance. The water was very clean that day.In my camera bag
I usually have either my Sony RX100M3 or my Canon 5D mark iii.Feedback
Tonga is the best place in the world to be with Humpback Whales.
