I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have favourites, but I would have to say this is mine. It is also my most popular print so far. Shortly after moving to the Sunshine Coast, a friend took me out sailing in Pender Harbour. It was fall so the whales were passing through and that evening we were surrounded by whale blows and tail slaps in all directions. It was just amazing! After a few hours, when the sun went down, we turned to sail home. I had JUST put my camera in it's bag when we heard a whale blow sound behind us. I quickly pulled out my camera and I am not kidding when I say I had seconds to set up and take this picture. I didn't have time to change lenses either so this was taken with my 50mm (not your typical wildlife lens). This photo is a one of a kind for so many reasons - the colours, the moon, the whale... it is a very special capture for me!
