I mostly take wildlife photos, but have been recently taking pictures of many other things. This week: A sequence of pictures of a diving North Atlantic Right Whale. North Atlantic Right Whales are a critically endangered species of Whale; there are only about 370 confirmed left in the world. The Right Whales were decimated by whaling up until the mid 20th Century, They are so named due to the fact that they were the ‘right whale to hunt’ because of their docile nature, the tendency to stay relatively close to the shore, and high blubber count. Though the age of hunting the Right Whale is long over they still face other man-made dangers that could very well push them to extinction; mainly environment destruction, entanglement in fishing gear, and marine vessel strikes. Right Whales migrate from the waters around Greenland and the Bay of Fundy down to the Florida Keys n search of food and to breed. In the Springtime, from about late February to early May, Right Whales make their way to the waters of Cape Cod and can be regularly spotted from the beaches of Provincetown. Because of their endangered status, all vehicles, both in the water and from the air, must stay 500 yards away from them when in the vicinity; however standing on the beach you can get a lot closer. I’ve been within 10 yards of a Right Whale just off shore while taking pictures. This season, on 04/22/25, I was out on the beaches of Provincetown when a pod of whales came by; I was in the perfect position, and all set up when one of the whales, only about 20 yards offshore, flicked its tail up for a dive. Here are 10 shots, 11 including the header, in sequence of that dive. it was one of the best days of this season; in fact, they were the only tail shots I was able to take that day.
