Just returned from a trip to the Silverbanks, had some great encounters but weather and viz did not always cooperate, giving us only 2 1/2 days in the water, and 2 half days that were mostly on the water observing behaviour with some great rowdy group encounters.
As a B&W fan I think Humpbacks in these circumstances lend themselves to B&W. Also like the way B&W brings out the 'god rays' looking down into the water.
Here are a few mother and calf images, shot between 400 ISO with the clearer water images and 800-1200 with the poorer viz images. D700 with 17-35 or 16mm and 1.4TC
Yes, the contrast between the dark body and the white pectoral fish is just awesome Jeff.
Thanks for sharing these.
Cheers

Who did you travel with (which liveaboard)? Did you snorkel or dive?
Strong work. I especially like #4 but they're all great.

Thanks folks.
abott this was all snorkeling, a special permit is needed for diving, and I'm not sure there's a great advantage to diving. We did the trip on the the Turks and Caicos Explorer with Tom Conlin
beautiful!
#1 and #3 look great!
Those are some AMAZING photos.
