Bottlenose Dolphins

On a wonderfully calm day, we set off from Lord Howe's on and only jetty to take a trip out to Balls Pyramid - pictures to come!

One the way out we encountered a pod of Bottlenose Dolphins - well, that's what I think they are - and they put on a bit of a display for us.  I have managed to get a decent number of 'fin' shots in the past, but rarely much more.

This time I was please to get a burst of one dolphin jumping out of the water.  As they were a little way from the boat, I have cropped the images to make them more about dolphins than water!






You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday.

    Great catches! I wish you and your camera had been here this morning..,we had two dolphins playing in our “front yard” (the Canal), but nobody was fast enough to get pictures. Great to watch Though!

    Yeah, when you realize that something is breaching (whether whale, dolphin or whatever), they've usually headed back into the water by the time the camera is up and shooting. But lovely catches anyway and wonderful to see whether pictures are made or not.

    First the fin shot, next the leap, obviously the next time will be a full frontal with the dolphin grinning at you broadly.
