Cape Breton, NS - Humpback Whale Fluke

[Jamie Douglas]

Whilst visiting Cape Breton Nova Scotia I got to see more than we planned for when we headed out on a zodiac to see pilot whales (we got so close we could almost touch the pilot whales but I never for one moment thought we would see a Humpaback ). This was a hard shot to get, and kicking myself for not using a better f stop but I was at the wrong side of the boat and we moved mighty fast to get up alongisde this whale. Great experience though and hope for some good C&C.

Thanks

Jamie
