Ocean City Whale Watching · Ocean City, Maryland

How photograph whales from a boat?

Answer

Fast shutter speeds, zoom lenses, and burst mode help—salt spray wrecks unprotected cameras. Shoot from seated positions when crew advises; never lean past rails for tail shots. Many passengers get better memories from binoculars than phone zoom.
