Whale powering up to the surface and breaching
I love how you have no fucking idea of the scope and majesty you are about to witness until you realize just what KIND of whale is zooming up to the surface and how fucking FAST that thing has to be going to catch that kind of air time.
Whales are scary fast!
Look at this little baby go!
Humpback whales look all slow and majestic riiight up to the point where they decide they need to be somewhere else like, immediately
I remember an article that interveiwed a National Geographic photographer and he said the most terrifying shoot for him was one where they were getting pictures of humpbacks feeding on schools of fish.
“Its the size and speed of a freight train and you’d never know if one was coming at you becuase underwater they don’t make a damn sound.”
National Geographic photographers are a breed above
There was a story from some whale-watchers, they were going to see humpback whales and then all of a sudden the guides start freaking out. See, humpbacks blow a circle of bubbles to corral fish, so then can swoop up and swallow as many as they can in one go.
And their boat was right in the middle of that circle of a bubbles.
Thankfully, the whale must have seen the boat at the last minute and adjusted course, because it breached a few meters away, but everyone on that boat needed new pants.
