Up close and personal vol 3.
This photo is from my next film "Face to Face with Orcas" broadcast in March. It is a hunting image during a feeding of about thirty orcas and two humpback whales in Norway in January last year. You can see on the pic my friend Rodolphe Guignard who is the protagonist of my film. The water temperature was about 3 degrees celsius (37 Fahrenheit) and choppy, choppy, choppy :-)
How I took this photo ? First, It was damn cold and I've been lucky. Canon R5 Sigma 20 mm Art f1,4 1/100e f2,8 Iso 8000 Raw Manual

Baby #HumpbackWhale recordings reveal vocalizations directed to their mothers
https://phys.org/news/2024-12-baby-humpback-whale-reveal-vocalizations.html paper: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2024.2048
"the young #whales tended to get noisy just before nursing in the morning—and such periods of noise lasted the longest of all those they studied... such vocalizations tended to be low-frequency and also included what they describe as snorts, barks, grunts and burps, which they suggest are likely forms of begging to be fed."
The best thing about pelagic birding: sometimes, there are whales.

Breaching #whale capsizes #boat and sends two people overboard off East Coast Of #US
A large whale sent two fishermen into the ocean a mile from Portsmouth, #NewHampshire harbor. Video shows how a #humpbackwhale suddenly appeared out of the water before flipping over a small, 23-foot (7m) vessel. #Whales usually keep their distance from Portsmouth harbor, but #humpback whales have been spotted closer to land than ever before.

A few of my ocean creatures for #WorldOceanDay. We call this planet Earth but it is more than 70% ocean; the continents and islands are the exception not the rule on what is mainly an ocean planet. The oceans are the biggest biosphere, a huge driver of climate, a major source of food, medicine, life and livelihood for many.

Apropos of nothing, here is a photo I took many years ago in #HerveyBay. I went #WhaleWatching, and this was one of the first captures of the day, and is easily one of the best photos I've ever managed to capture.
I just finished this digital artwork of a humpback whale with her cub. I used a tiny photograph in an old book as reference. It was fun to scale that up. Really satisfied with this one and it is the first time that I've reached the level of quality that I have been aiming for since I started focussing on digital painting for one and a half year ago.
