Mike thank you for bringing two things that i love, whales and photography, in this video.

Great colours! A polarising filter would be useful to get rid some reflections of the water. ;)

[@danielplays2277]

use special tours in reykjavik i used it they see alot of humpback whales

[@MikeBrowne]

I love Iceland 🇮🇸

[@MikesVoyagesAndDrives]

Great Videos, Mike. Looks like I will have to bring my 28-300mm lens if I will ever take a whale watching tour. Think that would be the right choice.

[@padidivemaster1963]

Mike I do love watch yr stuff, but the better picture you can take when u re under the water. Cheers and I m waiting for more.

[@IanSRutter]

Well done Mike. Exceptional video and very uplifting. I haven't had the opportunity to watch out for whales, but I did join a dolphin watch and that was spectacular! They raced in-front of the boat, leaping in and out if the water, it was amazing. Your enthusiasm comes out in the video and I hope you get more opportunities to do something like this again. Keep shooting and have fun!

[@MikeBrowne]

Thank you Ian S. Rutter

[@flockat]

Great!! Thanks a lot Mike!!

[@DennisHendriks70]

Very beautiful video about these wonderfull animals. I've got a question About the macro revers ring. The question is by that video. Thank you.

[@jesutartari1998264]

Thank you so much!

[@MikeBrowne]

You are very welcome jesutartari1998264 - MIKE :-)

[@toyarj37]

How did you change your setting so fast? It's not like they will wait for you. Did you use aperture priority or shutter priority or full manual? I'm going whale watching on Tuesday and I just can't see myself changing all those settings that fast

[@MikeBrowne]

Lots and lots of practise toyarj37 - and watching what's going on all the time so as the light changes - change the ISO or aperture or whatever to compensate as it happens. If you wait till the whales are there to change it's too late.

[@Oggiwara1]

Great video, Mike! Wish it was me. :-)

[@thehowlingterror]

Wonderful

[@b991228]

Next week I’m going out whale watching with a 100-400 lens on a full frame and I guess I will bring a 24-70 on the possibility that they leap into the boat for a portrait shoot. Over fifty years ago my grandfather took me to the Canadian Arctic to photograph scores of whales but since then after three more tries I’ve failed to capture any acceptable images. Wish me luck!

[@terenas1986]

Coooouuuunnnngraaaaattsss Maaaaiiikkkk!! (that was in whale.. not sure if you've seen Finding Nemo.. ) :D

[@MikeBrowne]

Thanks terenas1986 Haven't seen it but I do get it :-)

[@AbhirupSen20]

definitely much better looking shots :)

[@AnPrionsaBeag]

Whales don't seem to be the easiest models to photograph but at least they don't care about their waistline!

[@MrForsakenExile]

Amazing. As always...lol

[@ducks28]

200-600mm too much?

[@Flyer4EVER7]

What are your focus settings? Single Point? And where are you focusing?

[@MikeBrowne]

Single point and always on the Whale Flyer4EVER7
