A Sampling Of My Best Whale Photos!



The thing that gives this photo the greenish
coloration is the close proximity to green forests
right at the high tide mark which is very
 common in Southeast Alaska.










Humpback flukes raised out of the water
when the whale is making a deep dive.













A Gray Whale logging (sleeping) just below
the surface.









A blowing Gray Whale in Sitka Sound!










Heart shaped Gray Whale flukes!


The knuckles along the back-bone of a couple
 of Gray Whales.


Gray Whale checking our vessel out!


One of my better Humpback photos!









This was the most intimate encounter that I ever
had with a Gray Whale


Spy-hopping Gray Whale  -  Sitka Sound, Alaska


















This photo would be one of my best
 breaching whale shots if I would have
 had the camera horizontal
instead of vertical.


You can see a fringe of baleen in this
Humpbacks open mouth!








This is at White-Stone Narrows near Sitka, AK.





Howling wind during a beautiful setting sun -
one of my favorite photos!


This breach was too close for comfort!
My camera didn't focus fast enough
to get this breaching whale in a
vertical position.


This is probably my favorite photo
 that I have taken of Orca!


Orca tooth marks are visible
on this Humpbacks pectoral flipper.


What a marvelous experience to view
whales underwater. These are Melon-headed
Whales off of the coast of Guam.


Another Melon-headed whale photo! There must
have been about 90 whales in that pod.

The last foot or so of this
Humpbacks pectoral
flipper has been bitten off by a  Orca.


This is a Fin-back Whale.
Fin-backs are the second largest whales
on the planet.

A spy-hopping Orca.
Spy-hopping is a behavior the whale uses
to look around above the surface.
