Jumping for Joy

Species: Humpback Whale | Location: Timor Sea, Australia

We were at sea during a trip to Australia's Kimberly region. We found a group of humpback whales, with many breaching and tail slapping. The captain slowed the ship and we tried to determine where the next breach would be. Luckily I was generally looking in the right direction and was able to capture this breach that was fairly close to the ship.

About The Photographer

I'm a world traveler who has been traveling the globe for the past 15 years, visiting places that are being most impacted by global warming. My initial photography interest was in macros of plants and flowers, but once I obtained a longer lens, I became an avid wildlife photographer. I enjoy visiting off-the-beaten-path places and capturing images of the flora and fauna. I also enjoy sharing these images and experiences with others through my web site and personal presentations.
