Thank you so much !

Katina is my favorite whale for HUGE open show behaviors. Kayla does cool behaviors with a lot going on in the middle of them but Katina just soars !

Thanks again !

Wow, never seen an orca get anywhere near that high! All the ones at Marineland are lazy lol... Ike is ok, but he never gets height like that!
Fabulous shot!

you'd think Ike would jump that high, since he's Katina's son.. but no..... you guys must SPOIL him.

Perhaps... maybe Ike's just lazy lol
Or he's tired... Athena and Kiska are keeping him pretty busy if you catch my drift...

If their behaviour is any indication, there could be little Ike babies swimming around as soon as he's mature! lol... which would be AWESOME!!! lol

That would be fabulous!!! He's about seven now, so we have only a couple more years to go!!!

Thank you !

Katina is really a huge jumper. She's better than the others by a big margin ...

Maybe give Ike a couple of years to get closer to mom's level ... Taku was really good, especially for his size and Nalani can already really jump when she wants to !

Thanks again !

I love this angle, how the viewer is looking up at her over the crowd. That water trail underneath her is amazing.
I figured this one was one of your older shots, the clarity is a little lower then some of your others, but really the timing couldn't be better!

Thank you so much !

Yes, this was taken at a time that I was shooting way too flat at F/10 ... I shoot a LOT different now and I always have a lot of fun learning what settings do what

But these cameras are so sharp, I don't care as much about clarity as I do about color, exposure and composition ... and I love the straight-on look at Katina as she launches

But thanks !
