A year ago, a computer company decided to add some data I asked them to to my main hard drive, with poorly backed up scans and other data.
This is the only whale tail shot I had that the recovery company was able to salvage. I still have the slides, but rescanning over 2000 slides is a daunting challenge. I caved in and bought a bulk scanner attachment for my Nikon SC 4000. Waiting for delivery. a bulk scan of 50 while I am sleeping is increadibly easier than trying to do each alone. About 15 minutes per scan,between time to find, scan, clean up, adjust and then size for printing and web use.
anyway Hope you like the whale tail taken last year at Laguna San Ignacio, Baja California.

details not available for the shot, except F5.

Really gives a perspective on the size of these guys with the massive body just disappearing below the surface. Might try a little more USM. Good luck with the scanner.

I like the timing with the water running off of the tail. Concur on one more blast of USM>.. Nice shot Steve.

Nice pose. I like the curve of the tail. Another zap of USM and it will really pop. You will love the bulk loader for scanning. I frequently scan large numbers of slides while I am sleeping or off doing something else. It really saves a lot of time. Good luck.

Very neat action! I've seen this from whale watching boats but never been able to photograph the action. I love the shot but would also like to see a bit more USM.

Nice tail shot. As other have said, a bit more USM. Love the water cascading off the tail.

As requested. A little more USM. I found a better image than I posted. This is a larger file than the other one. Hope you like it better.
