It has been a few years, since I have really gone through all of my photos. One by one and really attempted at editing the different encounters that I have experienced over the years. I honestly, have completely forgotten that I even had some of these shots, which is beyond a happy surprise. I don't think I will tire of flicking through these encounters
It is quite common to see two or more humpbacks in a group foraging behaviour around the Antarctic Peninsula. They are usually in bit of unison with their surfacing, breathing and their deep dive are quite synchronised. However, it is a frequent sight that one animal will dive in a straight line, whereas the other whale will dive on more of an angle. As you can see from the photo below.
This tells us a lot of what the animals will be doing once they descend to the depths. It would suggest that the animal on the angle is going to be sweeping around in an attempt to use their large pectoral fins to shepherd their food source in a more desirable direction. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan, which you can see if that is the case by waiting a few minutes. Typically, rings of bubbles will then begin to surface, followed by the snouts of 2 huge humpback whales. That suggests that the attempted strategy was bit of a success.

At least a few trips out to see whales a season. I can't live without them. And each encounter, I learn more of their behavior, more of their personalities...!
I, too, love heading back thru Lightroom, and opening up old albums or old images, not only to relive, but also, to reprocess. During the pandemic, when I went out maybe less than a 1/4 of the photo trips, reliving the old Catalogs, and Albums, saved my sanity!
My technique when I first started w/ Photoshop and Lightroom was "heavy-handed" to say the least. Going back to the original raw, and reprocessing, now, feels like a whole new adventure.
