Preparing Your Camera

The most important aspect of any photography is getting a razor sharp image. Shutter Speed and Auto Focus are the most critical part of that for whale photography (or any wildlife photography). Jim and Michael give you all the tricks to keep your shutter speed fast and what kind of equipment works best when you’re out on the water. Everything you need to know to get those beautifully sharp whale pictures!

Preparing Yourself

It’s important to stay focused on the water and be prepared. Humpback whales are unpredictable and there’s lots of little things that go into making sure you’re prepared to deal with whatever the whales do. Whether it’s where you position yourself on the boat or what you bring in your camera bag this is critical info.

Know What the Whales Are Going To Do

We can’t teach you how to mind read the whales, but Melissa’s great guidance will help you understand their behaviors and activities, which is essential even if you’re just whale watching. The Humpback whales are unpredictable but there’s many things you can look for which will help you determine what they’re likely to do and where they’ll do it. This is incredibly important with whale photography, because the more you can anticipate what the whales are going to do, the more likely it is you and your camera will be ready to capture that spectacular shot!
