Following a Whale’s Breath
A distant spout can be the first clue to a whale surfacing. Learn the rhythm of the encounter and prepare the composition before the animal breaks the water.
Stories from oceans and coasts, following life beneath and above the water.
Large soaring birds use rising air to travel with little effort. Read the wind and the bird’s path, then keep the frame simple against the sky.
A distant spout can be the first clue to a whale surfacing. Learn the rhythm of the encounter and prepare the composition before the animal breaks the water.
A reflection can double the shape of a bird and turn calm water into a graphic canvas. Small ripples may add movement without distracting from the subject.
A seal surfacing between waves creates a fleeting portrait with a strong sense of place. Watch the rhythm of the swell before framing the shot.
A high viewpoint can show the scale and social structure of a colony while keeping people away from the animals. Patterns across the shore become part of the frame.
Macro work reveals patterns that disappear at ordinary viewing distance. The challenge is to show detail without losing the insect’s relationship to its habitat.
Coastal wind changes both behavior and composition. Watch how a colony moves together and build a frame around the rhythm rather than one isolated bird.
The eye often carries the emotional center of a wildlife portrait. Wait for a natural glance and make sure the surrounding fur and habitat remain readable.
Underwater wildlife photography rewards calm buoyancy and careful composition. Surface patterns, light rays and the animal’s direction can lead the viewer through the frame.
