considering appropriate gear for a whale watching vacation
I am intrigued about the possibility of going out in a small boat - 20 footer or so and attempting to capture photos of whales, specifically Grey whales off the western coast of Baja California and other whales in the Gulf of California
years ago, I got lucky and got some nice photos of humpbacks bubble feeding and breeching near Auk Bay near Juneau, especially when I cropped the photos
all I had a cannon power shot A1100 IS point and shoot
now I have a K 3 and K 5 II, a Nikon Coolpix P610 and the Cannon and the following choices for lenses:
Tamron 4-5.6 70 -300 macro zoom ld [1:2] af 62 f
