O'Briens Whale and Puffin Boat Tour [Explored!]

Explored! 2 in 2 days! Love it! www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/2012/07/31/page25/

I've been feeling a little jealous of everyone's whale pictures lately that I had to go out to get some for myself. My wife loves whales and being on the water so it was a pretty easy sell.

We went out on Sunday and it was probably the best day I've seen for whales. There were probably a dozen in the area and a number of times they'd come right up to our boat (or one of the nearby boats) and check us out, so close that the spray would hit you at times.

No big breaches, but there were a few rolling around and slapping the water with their fins. Of course we saw tons of birds as well - puffins, guillemots and gulls everywhere.

All shot with my D90 and 70-300 VR lens (with circular polarizer)
