Re: PESO: Breaching Whale
Thanks for your comments, Aahz, Jack and Bob. The shutter speed was 1/320, and the aperture f7. Because when never knows where the whale will rise, a bit of DoF is needed, but the speed has to be enough to stop blur from moving the camera quickly and from the motion of the whale.

Re: PESO: Breaching Whale
I think I do, Larry. I took hundreds of exposures this afternoon, and did a "quick and dirty" clean-up of this one in PS a few minutes ago, just to get an idea of what was there. As you can see, the weather was not ideal. There were heavy rains this afternoon throughout Hawaii, although almost none where we are staying, in the rain shadow of the 10, 023 foot volcano northeast of here, Haleakala. During our whale watch on the Pacific this afternoon, it was cloudy and drizzling from time to time. The whales were quite active, but the catamaran was bouncing around quite a bit in the gusty seas, and the backgrounds, as you can see, were rather drab. That being said, I am very happy with this image, and I will try to improve it a bit more. Thanks very much for you comments on cropping the image, which I think are very helpful.
