Freedom - a photo on Flickriver

Freedom

imagine how it felt to watch these beautiful mammals jumping in the air and showing what it feels like to be Alive and Free!

its not a sharp picture, and there wasnt another jump like this. and i dont know if i could find the opportunity to shoot jumping dolphins again cause wild life is very unpredictable. But i honestly wished the guy next to me didnt lose his balance and fell on me while i was shooting.

This was very difficult to shoot for me. the dolphin was not very close, very far for the 70-200mm. moreover, it was very difficult to stay still in that moving fishing boat among constant rolling as I was standing just at the front of the boat where the rolling feels more than anywhere else of the boat. On top of that, lot of people there, no one would giveaway their position. And these dolphins won’t give any sign of their next predictable jump or breathing location.

This is a cropped version, original picture has a red shadow which was a life jacket of another photographer. I shot this without wasting time of looking through the view finder. And nobody has this shot :)
