The first day I brought my new Canon 7D onto the ocean to take photos and this happened. A huge humpback whale breached about 20m from the vessel I was driving. It has never happened again to me since...

Humpbacks have the largest pectoral fins (arms) of any of other whale species in the world~ this gives them amazing agility in the water.

Hence my favourite nickname to call them The Ballerinas of the Ocean.
