Thank you ;o)

I hope that this is better than the last one I posted - slower

shutter speed this time :) Please tell me what you think...

Please critique - there will hopefully be a follow up to this one...

Hi Tristan,

From memory this was just taken with my 28-80mm lens with a UV filter, nothing special. try it it might work - just remember that this could potentially ruin your eyes because you are basically looking at the sun so just be careful!! Let me know if you manage to take any shots and I'd love to have a look :)

Is Macro considered to be something more close up than this?

Thank you for your comments. I think that this is more about the relationship between the photographer and nature (although my other shot probably shows this better where the whale and the photographer are face to face...) all in all it's a sad event and it guts me how people still whale despite the beauty of these creatures - you wonder why more use isn't made of what we are given...

I have some other ones also - where I did have a shorter exposure on them - i'll try and post them this weekend :) A point to note is that these photos were taken prior to me having a tripod with as steady a hand as possible without one (didn't think of using a surface back then either - as a tripod that is!!)

*I have posted some other ones up with a shorter exposure*

Would this be better if there hadn't been that much movement? Please

tell me your thoughts...

I like this better than your other toilet shot...

I definately agree with the whole focussing thing, it would have been perfect in my eyes if the "Baghero" would have been in focus...

Please critique - comments welcome...

Hi there, thank you for your comments and the links. It seems that it doesn't stop there, this is a new paper clipping - "A pod of 74 pilot whales has stranded on a Coromandel beach, north of Whangamata."(NZ) I don't know how to add links but if you go to www.xtramsn.co.nz and look for "Over 50 Whales Dead As Pod Strands" to read the story. or

I have posted this one before but it was quite a large file and took

to long to download so here it is again...

That would be correct. As far as I know these whales have now been buried in the Sand Dunes. Someone told me about some whales that had washed ashore about 30 years ago which were buried in the dunes at another beach. Apparantly that place is now "Tapu" (Sacred) because the smell is so bad from the Whales decomposing...

This is another photo from the beached Sperm Whales at Karekare

Beach.

This is one of a dozen Sperm Whales that washed up on Karekare Beach

last November (Auckland, NZ).
