Orca Whale

An Orca Whale near the mouth of the Fraser River at Steveston Village during the annual Sockeye Salmon run. There were three different pods, (approximatley 90 whales in total) having a massive feed on one of the largest sockeye salmon runs in history. Interestingly the Orcas were doing very little breaching on this day. The picture was taken with a Nikon D-200 with a 70-200mm f/2.8 at 200mm (picture was taken at ISO 200, 1/640 at f/9). This is one of a five shot sequence taken as this Orca slipped down beneath the waves.
