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. Dan Matyola

Very nice, Dan. I was in Maui once and was lucky enough to see a very similar scene while just glancing toward the ocean, but I didn't have my camera in my hand and by the the time I got it the show was over. Thanks for reminding me of that time. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net
