21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
First Sighting

This was the first time I have ever seen a whale. Being out on the ocean, I had my camera in hand for any moment. I was able to learn about these whales during a whale watch. Going to this, I was able to make great friends within the four hours I was on the boat. I got pretty soaked too as the water splashed from the ocean. Although, it was an incredible experience!
