It can be the hardest picture to take when you are on a moving vessel with a large 30+ tonne humpback whale whom decides out of nowhere that it is time to leap out of the water in a display of aerial acrobatics.  I really wish I had a button to push so I had some warning on when these massive gentle giants are going to perform such a display but then that would take all the fun out of the encounter.  That and the photo of an actual breach wouldn't mean as much - well, to me anyway
