Actually hitting Maui at the right time of the year is almost a guarantee
you'll see whales.
On my first visit to Maui I was able to capture images of them from my
veranda in Kaanapali, before they started their migration north.
We later took a whale watching boat out and captured them breeching.

Nice shots Dan.
We used to have a list member whose vocation or avocation involved
numerous days every year off the coast of Maine and that region taking
whale shots. From Fred's constant search for longer lenses and his
occasional comments about rough weather etc. I got the impression that
taking photos of whales is no easy and straightforward proposition. For
you to get any "keepers" at all is quite an accomplishment.

Thanks, Christine.
Most of these shots are centered, because I was concentrating hard on
catching the fast-paced action. I also made an effort to get some of
the shore in the images, to set the scene and to show how close to
shore the whales are at times. We frequently watched them from the
shore, although of course they are further away and harder to
photograph.
The experience was incredibly exciting and photographically challenging.

Gosh, these are cool, Dan. I would love to see whales. I took a peek
at
the whole set--pretty cool. I know most of the shots have splash in
them,
but I actually like best the lone tail that's way upright with the
island in
the background. I know the tail is very centered, but I still like the
shot
best. Cheers, Christine
