Yesterday's challenge was to steer the boat downwind with one hand while trying to photograph dolphins with the PX in the other hand.....it was true point & shoot. You generally hear the dolphins before you spot them as they surface - they take a quick breath then dive again. I was impressed at how the PX coped with 'one press snap' as it's a feature it doesn't have! One day I hope to get some action shots of them jumping which they tend to do when they are in with the salmon - not a time to be too close though.

Such beautiful animals! Nice captures of dolphins doing what they do naturally. So friendly to humans, and yet, treated so badly by some of us (watch the documentary, 'The Cove', for example - absolutely horrifying and heart-breaking). It's indeed lovely to see them happily swimming and doing what they do in their natural environment .
