Humpback Whale - Joe McCabe Living in Juneau, Alaska, situated along the the Inside Passage waterway, seasonal home of many humpbacks and orcas, I'm fortunate enough to have relatively easy access to these wonderful and often entertaining animals. This photo was made in Chatham Strait, between Admiralty Island and Baranof and Chichagof Islands, about a 2 hour small boat ride from Juneau. We had been hanging out with 2 groups of about 6 whales each which were cooperatively bubble net feeding as one large group. Often when 2 distinct groups of humpbacks interact, there will be a higher than normal chance of great photo opportunities as the whales establish their social pecking order. In these circumstances, you can almost count on breaches, spy hopping and fin and tail slapping (not to mention cooperative lunge or bubble net feeding). Equipment Used: Canon 7D, EF 100-400mm IS, 160mm, 1/1000, F9, ISO 640. |
Scenes from Louisiana, the BP Oil Disaster Part II The plan was to charter a boat on two mornings. One trip would be out to Raccoon Island which I had flown over on July 28. The other would be a return trip into Barataria Bay to check on Cat Island, one of the largest Brown Pelican rookeries in the area. We would also travel up into Bay Jimmy to see Wilkens Island and some of the other marsh islands in the bay. I also wanted to interview some of the locals like Patrick Shay and Leanne Sarco that I had interviewed on my previous trip. Since they both are on Grand Isle, I wanted their perspective on how the cleanup was going. Obviously, I also wanted to see for myself what was taking place in terms of the cleanup on the island.
