We threw down our dinner napkins and headed out the door. Here is my view of 5 Orcas, Momma, Poppa and three little ones cruising by a floating boat. The fellow at the back has a camera around his neck but didn't even raise it as the whales went by. Must be a local! http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Whales12/5Orcasw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/89a49pd Here is Esther's view of the same scene, taken slightly earlier, with the GH2 and the 45 - 200 zoom. Cropped in CS 5 to be a pretend pano. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Whales12/EOrcasw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/73634bc And here is Esther's picture of the whales swimming along with the magnificent Olympic Mountains in the background. I worked quite hard on this one for shadows and highlights using CS5. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Whales12/E4OrcaMtnsw.jpg.html http://tinyurl.com/brtslus Please look large and enjoy, C&C always welcome.
