Thank you everyone for your kind comments. It was a fantastic experience
and I was a bit blown away by how close the whales came to us so apologies
if the tips were a little ‘fuzzy’. Glad you enjoyed it…
Awesome Mike,, thanks for sharing.. I think the whales were just as
interested in you as you were in them. Such gentle giants of the sea,,
amazing :)
Did you shoot in manual or in one of the programme modes Mike?
Great stuff Mike.
Where’s the next one mike. Amazing experience it seems. Hope to see the
next one soon.
Hi Mike! Why do you shoot in Aperture priority instead of manual mode? You
mentioned upping the exposure compensation to avoid issues from the bright
sun. Why not just shoot in manual so you can control that? Not trying to be
rude, just wondering about your technique :D
Hello all you Lovely People out there in Youtube Land
A couple of years ago I had the opportunity of a lifetime to spend time
with and take photographs of Humpback Whales in Exmouth bay in Australia —
and thought you might like to come along for the ride.
This is the first of a 2 part series and we begin with preparing for the
main event which was an evening shoot. I didn’t know quite what to expect
or if we’d even see any whales – boy was I in for a surprise.
It was a day out on a friend’s boat to watch whales and do a bit of a recce
to see how to approach photographing these amazing giants before going out
to watch them at sunset a few days later. And that’s what part 2 is all
about…
NEWS:
There’s tons of exciting things going on which are taking up ALL my time
but none of them are quite ripe for me to tell you about them yet. But I
promise there’s some great stuff both on the website and out there in the
real world coming in 2014.
Right now I’m working at least a 70 hours a week to make sure it happens so
if I don’t answer all your comments and question, workshop requests etc
please don’t take it personally. I value every one of my brilliant
subscribers and am often deeply moved by your kind comments and the way you
help out by sharing and telling all your friends about our videos etc.
Big Group hug to You all…
Mike
What a great experience, looking forward to the next one :)
I do think a polarizer would of helped Mike.
Great vid mate ,hoped you enjoyed your stay..
Great field shoot, thanks Mike and the team.

This looks really fascination! Really! :-)
Fantastic Mike your very lucky to have the opportunity to photagraph the
whales, looking forward to part 2, atb John.
Thanks mike
The thing they’re doing with the head straight up out of the water is
called spy hopping. They do this to get a view of their surroundings above
the water and of course to “human watch.”
Can’t wait for part deux.
Great Video… How are you feeling Mr Browne ?
it was really cool to see humpback whale here in new york I’ve actually
seen it jump once but at that time i didn’t even have my camera with me
that’s what photographer says always gotta have a camera with you i don’t
have anywhere else to attach it with me sorry ( ﾟдﾟ)
Well, the next step was there for the taking. Under water photography, tell
me Mike, did the thought cross your mind?
Amazing shots Mike. If you visit chile someday, i will be glad to show you
the track of blue whales feeding while they take care of their calves. Hope
to meet you some day. Im your fan number 1.
Fantastic posing models! Awesome videos Mike. Thanks!
That was fantastic … Looking forward to see part two, and I guess that’s
the part were you took those amazing shots of the whale’s back against the
warm and nice horizon, can’t wait to see it.
All the best …
i thought you needed some spelling lessons Mike, then i realised you were
photographing the mammals, not the country!
Hello Mike,
I want to thank you ten thousand times for the help… For all the work you
made for us. I have learn more with your videos than 6 workshops.
My knowledge was with every episodes better than ever!
And i wait for the next episodes….
Billions thanks again…you are my “master”…..
David
Would it be possible to shut your gob-
Your excellent tutorial videos ispire so many aspiring and amateur
phototographers like me. What a joy and pleasure watching your tips and
tricks, explained in a friendly manner. How I wish all teachers were like
you!
Sorry Mike, I shoot primarily with a Canon 5D Mark 2 and a handy Nikon
D3200.
