June 2026 - Coming up for treats

About the Image(s)

My wife, Carolyn and I just returned from a trip to Alaska where we saw whales in the wild. That did not fit the top of PJ because most of those images did not include people, but it did remind me of a trip to Disneyworld in 2012. These whales were not in the wild but nonetheless interesting. These whales had performed and were coming to their keeper for treat time.

Camera Settings: Creation Date: 07/30/2012 Camera: Canon EOS 7D, Shutter Speed: 1/500, Aperture f/5.6, ISO 200, Lens 70-300mm Canon Lens @ 124 mm

Post processing:, Normal LR adjustments. Adjusted shadows and highlights to reduce glare and bring out shadow detail-Small amount of dehaze. Sharpening and denoise using Topaz Photo AI.

Nice. The blue light on the fins makes them look like plexiglass. It would help the photo to have a higher angle, to avoid the railing in front. Many times this is not possible. You have captured the enthusiasm of the audience.

But for somewhat blue colour cast all is ok to me.   Posted: 06/16/2026 09:58:20
