Fast shutter speeds freeze the action when doing ambient light

Southern Hemisphere Humpback whales are migrating through Tonga this time of year. This is one of the few places in the world where it is permitted to snorkel with whales.

When photographing whales and other large animals in the blue try setting your camera to shutter priority and using a speed of 1/250th of a second. This will minimize camera shake and blurry images.

Check out this article on Tonga for more information. http://www.uwphotographyguide.com/diving-tonga-humpback-whales
