Wordless Wednesday – Killer Whales in the Pacific Ocean

An Orca Sighting

This past weekend, I took my son to Nanaimo, a city on Vancouver Island, for a lacrosse tournament.

During our ferry crossing, the captain let us know that there was a pod of orcas in the distance. I ran down to the vehicle deck to grab my camera, but by the time I got it, the killer whales were tiny in the distance. (These photos are zoomed in from my originals.)

I quickly tried to grab a few shots, but sadly, they were so far away. I just pointed my camera toward the splashes in the far off distance and hoped to catch a glimpse of one surfacing.

And I was in such a rush to get my camera and get a shot before they disappeared, I didn’t get a chance to fine tune my settings and shot them way too dark.

After I fired these shots off, I fixed my settings. But alas, the killer whales were gone.

So these grainy, super far away shots are all I have — this time. Hopefully there will be more orca sightings in my future. πŸ™‚

If I zoom WAY in – you can see it really IS a killer whale jumping.

Have you ever had a chance to see whales or dolphins in the wild?

Did you get a chance to get a photo? I hope you got better shots than I did.

Did you post a weekly photo? Link up below…

    So cool that you were able to see killer whales! I would love to see one at some point in my life.

    We’re on the east coast so we’ve only seen dolphins. That’s a great shot even if it is grainy.

    Wow! It’s still cool!
    I’ve never seen one away from a marine park.
    Happy WW!
