AlooooooHa!
Evening/Morning all!! Cruising home from my parents house last week I stopped to shoot this amazing cloud as the sun started coming up. After I looked at it on my puter I realized that I had inadvertently caught a whale splash. It's that small little white spot near the center. It's the whale season here in Hawaii and last week they had over 600 volunteers around the state counting whales. Here's my count...."One".
I've seen three whales during this season on my recent outings, but like this one they were too far to get a decent shot. But I am always vigilant...wish me luck.
Aloha everyone and keep shooting. I see much improvement in every ones images, "Attaboys" all around...Cya~

stunning is all I can think of
No way,thats just an awesome shot. Amazing find.
Beautiful picture as always. Good luck on getting closer to the whales. I love whales and would enjoy seeing some via your pictures.
A dramatic sky with that dark cloud. Yes, I see the whale splash.
wow!!!
Nice scene Dave. As far as whales go, I see them jumping every day from my parlor. Some are BIG and some are small. But, as you say, a little too far for a decent shot. When I get the camera ready, they stop.....I think they are camera shy. Aloha
Woooeeeee looks like the rain is just pouring out of that cloud!!! I love it when the unexpected happens!!! Way to go Dave, spontaneous magic, is what I call it!!! Incredible photo!!!!!!! Aloha...
LOL@Whale Count. Such a powerful capture of the weather and the timing was perfect. The rain is still pouring and left some flooding all around. Lucky whale, he's not worried about getting wet. Excellent shot. (I'm up to #2 whales).
lovely looking
Such dramatic skies are not found every day, wonderful voluminous clouds with excellent lighting.
Great shot of the squall, and the whale is just icing. Save some for me.
You logged a whale and captured this beautiful sunrise...what more could a person ask for?
This scene would be worth a flight over there just to take. One of the things that says miracles of nature more than any other. Excellent.
Super pic. wonderful nature and mood. Just perfect
What a light, what a sky, what a photo !

Absolutely beautiful indeed! Wow!
You got me floored. Again! Brilliant in every aspect!
the atmosphere is really terrific! the distant rains are impressive! what a photography!
Outstanding! The sky is fabulous in itself, but to catch a whale is icing on the cake! My compliments!!!
Spectacular! Great shot.
:) this shot is sooo cool, excellently done!!!!
Two great dramas for the price of one! Awesome - wish I could have witnessed firsthand!
You timed this just perfectly......from dry land!! Beautifully captured.
Fabulous seascape Dave!!!
