| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is how I celebrated new year's eve in New Zealand.
Off the Kaikoura coastline is a marine environment so rich in nutrients that it attracts some of the most magnificent creatures with which we share our planet. At the top of the list is the Giant Sperm Whale that can grow up to 20 metres and weigh over 50 tons. These whales can be seen all year round making Kaikoura one of the most popular whale watching locations in the world.
Picture taken using Nikon D2X and a 70-200 i.e. 400mm in digital.
I know it is a classical picture but I dreamed about shooting it for some years. Now I can share it with you.
Please enjoy. |

Hi Detay
Sorry, in a bit of a rush today. No time for a proper critique, but well worth the big green :-) TFS.
