July 19, 2012. Saint Anthony, Nfld. We took a whale/iceberg spotting tour with Northland Discovery Tours and managed to see both! Unfortunately I was only able to get off a few shots during the tour. I made a huge error in judgement by going to the upper viewing deck! It was so windy up there that I spent the entire time clinging to a corner railing trying to convince my stomach that it didn't have to pitch with the boat :-(. I'm shocked that the next few shots are in focus! This is a humpback whale. Although we could see the icebergs on the horizon they were too far away for good shots, and the captain wasn't keen to take a load of tourists through the choppy waters to get there. I think he made a wise choice! View the rest of the pics in this series in my Newfoundland Trip ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/dibytes/sets/72157630926275672/ ) set.
July 19, 2012. Saint Anthony, Nfld. More than 40 feet in length, this creature glided effortlessly alongside our boat. View the rest of the pics in this series in my Newfoundland Trip ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/dibytes/sets/72157630926275672/ ) set.
July 19, 2012. Saint Anthony, Nfld. I knew they call Newfoundland 'The Rock', but it really is! Exposure was tough here - low light, moving boat, photographer with queasy stomach. I can't even remember my thought process in choosing settings, but I know I did a fair bit of work in PP to bring up the shadows.
