"Low-orbit Jump"
Okay, got some time over lunch to paint, and moved this one forward quite a bit. Nearly done. Low-orbit jump team rolling into combat or some kind of action on the surface below.

I say how high?
I did some painting tonight--still in progress. Soldiers jumping out of some kind of suborbital military craft, geared up for re-entry. Painter, Art Rage and PS, about two hours work, still a ways to go.

It was funny, this trip on August 4, 2011, it was all breaching, humpbacks just getting crazy in and out of the water--head first, and almost no clear shots of flukes. We did see Cajun and Pele--briefly. This beauty was the only one doing head stands for as long as we wanted to watch.

Took some pretty good shots of humpback whales today--went on a tour over the southeast end of Stellwagen Bank with my dad and my kids, Chloe and Christopher--lots of breaching, whales jumping completely out of the water in some cases. Crazy stuff, but tough to shoot because you never knew where they were going to spring through the surface and into the air. Along the way Chloe and I saw a huge sea turtle swimming along about 10 miles southeast of Gloucester

Cetacean observation
Took some pretty good shots of humpback whales today--went on a tour over the southeast end of Stellwagen Bank with my dad and my kids, Chloe and Christopher. I'll post more, but here are some examples--lots of breaching, whales jumping completely out of the water in some cases. Crazy stuff, but tough to shoot because you never knew where they were going to spring through the surface and into the air. Along the way Chloe and I saw a huge sea turtle swimming along about 10 miles southeast of Gloucester.
We also saw my favorite whale of all, Cajun--with her bud Pele--cruising along like they owned the place.

At one point in the day we were positioned just right with the wun that every curtain of sea spray made a rainbow:
