I'm off to Alaska in May and we have a whale watching trip scheduled. We did it a couple of years ago and while we saw plenty (humbacks and Orcas) we only got a few pics of Orca fins.
So for this time I have a Sigma 150-500 on its way. I plan to practice up with it before we go. Also this time we reserved with a guy that only takes six people instead of the thundering herd that was on the boat we went on last time.

I post this not because it's a great shot but because I was so amazed that I got anything at all. This pod was about 1,000 yards off Maui and I shot this with my Nikon D40x with my 55-200mm lens zoomed all the way out...and hand held. When I looked at the shots, I said "WoW"! Couldn't believe I got a shot in which you could actually SEE the whales.
