Nature & Wildlife Photography |📍NYC

Humpback whales, an hour's boat ride from NYC? I just had to go.

The sky went from cloudy to ideal as we headed out into open water. Once we got there, the captain kept swinging the boat around, guessing where they'd surface next, and luck kept putting me in the right spot.

I've spent countless hours tracking birds through a viewfinder, but the first time this one rose against the skyline, I forgot about my settings and just watched. The whole deck went ooh, then aah, every single time.

For once, Manhattan wasn't the biggest thing in the picture, but I'm stoked that I got it in-frame.
