Location
The photo was taken off the coast of Long Beach CaliforniaTime
January 3-, 2019 at 1PM shortly after our whale watching tour startedLighting
The skies were hazy and sunny however the we did not have bright sunlight.Equipment
Canon 1Dx, Canon 100-400L @100mm . This was hand held while take rapid shots of a dolphin pod swimming by.Inspiration
I love to go on whale watching tours not just to see whales but dolphins and other marine life too. The joy in watching dolphins jump around the boat seemingly having a great time is worth the trip even without whales.Editing
Basic post processing, minor cropping, sharpening, levels etc.In my camera bag
On that day I had my Canon 7DII with Canon 400 DO and 1.4x and my Canon 1Dx with 100-400L.Feedback
Sometimes it is almost impossible to focus on dolphins not knowing when they will jump or where they are. So lately I have just started to shoot at 100-200mm and point and just hold down the shutter hoping sometime will come out great.
