Pseudo Hump Day Photo

I'm really proud of this shot. I went to Seaworld over the weekend with my sister's family. Like an idiot, I forgot to take my camera with me. I thought Seaworld would be more like a traditional theme park and not provide me with much opportunity to get interesting shots. So I was stuck shooting with my sister's digital camera (horror of horrors!). At the dolphin show, I put the camera on "Sports" mode to capture the fast moving action. I waited for the little buggers to leap and twirl and flip. I captured a lot of images of splashes as the dolphins reentered the water. D'oh! So finally one time I could see the "false" killer whale (pseudorca crassidens) underwater heading for the middle of the tank. I knew it was gonna do something big because a trainer had gone underwater with the thing. I focused on where I thought they'd appear and clicked the shutter as soon as they broke the surface. This is the resulting shot. The background makes her hard to distinguish, but there is a woman up in the air just above the snout of this beast. I'm annoyed that I cut off part of the tail, but very pleased that I got this kind of shot with digital. (Of course, if I'd had my camera with me, I'd have gotten all kinds of good shots.)
