Whale Watching, day 1

First Day of whale watching (link, enlace, lien)
All the way down to Baja California with the hope of having a real whale watching not like the ones we experienced living on the east coast of the US. Clear sky, calm sea, well a beautiful two and half hours morning at sea in front of us. Our Guide Albert, biologist, a young 30 years old Spanish from Barcelona, very rare to find european so far away from the old continent.
Few miles off shore the first sight of a humpback whale. The excitement was growing.


Well this was furtive.
We learnt few things about whale watching: to be patient, to have a fast boat and a captain who really put effort in finding whales. And of course not to forget luck on your side. We did saw whales (not as many as we were hoping) and more, dolphins, tortoise. Here goes my first experience of shooting whales. Not an easy exercise with a 100-400 mm lense in a moving boat. Here it goes.
