Whales are awesome

[HumpbackWhalesRLit]

Hello everyone!

I'm a semi-pro wildlife photographer, with an absolute obsession with whales and other marine mammals.

In my regular job I make science communication films, so when I wanted to get more into photography wanted a mirrorless system as it best replicated the video cameras I was used to.

I have an A7R3 with a 100-400mm and 24-70mm lens.

I'm not all that interested in landscape photography on the whole, but love long-exposure shots.

I took this one on a recent trip to loch ness.

All the best

I went to KL for the weekend and I’m home again.

I rushed home to join a special Sony camera sponsored photography tour that cost $100 a seat, limit of 8 participants… then when I showed up, we got on a $60 commercial Whale watching tour with about 60 others, so space was very limited. The gen y skipper was too lazy to shift his bottom 6m to the opposite console on the boat so that passengers on the port side could see a thing or two.

I should have stayed in KL.

Here’s my photo of a newborn whale breaching…. Oh, and the skipper getting a great view of it.

I guess a day on the Harbour is never a total waste of time.
