Some of my favorite images from a recent trip this fall to photograph orcas in the fjords of Norway in the arctic circle. Cold temps, northern lights, hundreds of orcas, short days, humbpacks, and seemingly billions of herring in bait balls, made for an epic trip and fantastic, albeit challenging, photography.
One of my favorite shots, a bull orca herding a schooling bait ball of herring. The orca would flash it’s white underside to steer the herring, they would panic and swim in a tight circle as the orcas swam circles around them. Then they would selectively pick off the ones they wanted to eat.
