We had amazing encounters yesterday with a family of resident whales called the Group of Seven. Among the group were a couple of relatively large calfs, both of which were inquisitive and friendly.

Photographing open-ocean cetaceans can involve a lot of swimming. For instance, to be accepted into this group of sperm whales required what seemed like hours of swimming as hard and fast as I could. In reality, it was probably only 10 minutes, give or take, but swimming for 10 minutes in ocean swell with the ...1 week ago -
