Hi there!
We are thinking of heading out on a whale watching trip from Redcliffe, with Brisbane Whale Watching, on their catamaran ‘Eye Spy’ (http://www.brisbanewhalewatching.com.au/our-cruises/travel-in-style/)one day in July.:)
Just wondering if anyone can offer some advice on the best location for photography on this vessel. Acknowledging there are a number of variables, such a 3 decks, fore, aft, port, starboard positions, number of passengers, whale appearance (or not!) and their positions, etc. has anyone got any advice/recommendations on say, which deck to shoot from?
The most obvious seems the top deck, but looking at a photo of the vessel (http://www.brisbanewhalewatching.com.au/our-cruises/travel-in-style/), if the whales are very close, then the view could be blocked by the superstructure, crowds below, etc.:confused013
Any advice or comments on your own experience would be greatly appreciated.:)
In terms of equipment (Canon 7D with 70-200 F4L) and settings, I was thinking along the lines of ISO 400, F8 at 1/1600 sec as a starting point. I may take the EOS-M for close ups if the whales cooperate.
Cheers:D
Dennis
