Nice Dolphin pics Mark. I rate my dolphin pics on a scale of 0-5. 0. - A good pic of the swirl left behind as the dolphin dove. Even this is not as easy to get as many might think. 1. - Any small portion of fin or tail visible that you can convince someone is not just a bit of flotsam. 2. - A full back shot. Highly arched diving shots are especially appreciated in this class. A really good tail-fluke shot also falls in this rating. 3. - The eye shot. I almost never seem to be quick enough on the shutter to catch the eye above the water 4. - The jump. Catching the dolphin completely out of the water is what you are really looking to capture in this class. 2 or 3 dolphins jumping together is the holy grail of this class. 5. - The "Flipper" shot. Dolphin right beside the kayak with mouth open merrily chattering away at you. I have never even had the opportunity to try to get this shot. I often find myself torn between trying to get the great dolphin picture and just sitting back and enjoying the amazing shows they put on. I am just starting to experiment with taking video with my W10. Maybe I can get some better shots that way. Mark J.
