Here are some of the best whale pictures I’ve ever seen, both video and stills, taken by a San Diego marine photographer about 20 miles offshore on a beautiful, clear, blue day.
Dominic Biagini, of La Jolla, who works for Captain Dave’s Dolphin Safaris, a whale-watching business on Dana Point, took something of a busman’s holiday when a friend was visiting recently from Chicago. He took the friend out on a private boat in search of whales.
As he told Fox 5 in the story below, after an hour or so they came across a pod of six orcas, swimming by themselves. Biagini used a drone to take overhead pictures, taking advantage of the almost perfect weather conditions. He shot for the next 90 minutes, following the whales, who often came as close as 50 yards to his boat. No other boats were in the area to disturb the whales or create any wake for the pictures.
See Biagini’s You Tube video immediately below, and then look at his Photo Gallery of 16 still pictures in the Fox 5 story below that.
