Taken on the same trip as my last post. One photo tip, if you are on a boat and you wish to get low angle photos take something to kneel on, non slip floor is very painful after a while

This is nice! I prefer this one! Very difficult subject to get a handle on! I've been trying with Bottlenose Dolphins and Basking Shark for years but very little success photographically!

They can be little darlings especially on a moving boat
I have been trying to get shots that really show the location well, they spend a lot of time in the harbour and around Aberdeen, for this one I picked the view and waited for the dolphins to swim into shot, much easier said than done as the boat was tuning at the time.
The good thing with Bottlenose is they do tend to follow a straight course and you kind of know where they will come up next. We also have white beaked dolphins and they are another challenge altogether.
Also have you ever tried with a polorizer? I think I will have a go in the summer
