Despite their massive size (45 foot, 40 tons), humpback whales hurl themselves unexpectedly out of the water, acrobatically spinning 30 feet in the air before spectacularly splashing down. These photos capture the two-second event in multi-frame, stop-action sequence. Of all my photos, these are the most challenging. They require anticipating where the whale will surface, reacting instantly to frame and focus the shot, keeping the animal in the frame until splashdown and controlling my excitement until its over.
