This is absolutely stunning! I love the position of them all, and it's not often you come across photos like this, with this many whales in it. I can't understand how you get so much detail in your pictures of such fast moving animals! XD You even got Trua and Nalani's eyes in it! (Unless that's just conveniently places water drops >.> ) It's incredible

Thank you very much !

I've been waiting for the trainers to jump these 5 whales at the same time for about 1 year - ever since the calves started doing bows on their own


I got very lucky to be at the show when they finally jumped them all at the same time ... and very lucky to catch it ! I just hope they keep jumping them all together so I can try and capture it again ...

I had a very good lens this day so I was able to capture Trua's and Nalani's eyes from accross the pool like this - yes, those are their eyes

Thank you so much, again !

"and very lucky to catch it !"

I think you need to give yourself more credit. A lot more then 'luck' played a part in getting this photo. It comes down to talent. A lot of people could have gotten 'lucky' and taken a shot of this exact moment, but I doupt theirs would have come out quite as nice.

Well thank you very much !

I do try and get my camera and myself set up to have at least a chance at these kinds of shots.

I also shoot continuous so that all I have to do is push the button and hold on tight ... and hope the camera fires at the right moment - that really is luck !

Thank you again !

Wow thats amazing. And Trua and Nalani look HUGE here. I thought they were smaller
Beautiful, they are spread like a fan.

Thank you !

Those 2 do look bigger than usual ... I think it's because they are a lot close than this side angle shows. I looked at the pictures of the first 2 sets of bows before this last set and they are all spaced about 4-5 feet about - side-by-side. So that would make Nalani about 16'-20' closer than Kayla and Trua about 12-15' closer than Kayla which would make them look much bigger ...

Sorry to get so technical and I hope that didn't ruin the picture for you ...

All that said - Trua and Nalani are getting big !

Thanks again !
