Creator's Key Takeaways

I shot a lot of video during an Alaska cruise on the Coral Princess in June, 2014.

Here are the best shots I got of whales and glaciers.

The shots of the glacier calving were in Glacier Bay, although I can't recall exactly which glacier it was because we saw so many!

With a big 100-400mm zoom lens I was able to get some good shots of spouting and breaching whales.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use a big zoom lens to get good whale shots.
Visit Glacier Bay for glacier calving views.

YouTube Video Description

I shot a lot of video during an Alaska cruise on the Coral Princess in June, 2014. Here are the best shots I got of whales and glaciers. The shots of the glacier calving were in Glacier Bay, although I can't recall exactly which glacier it was because we saw so many! The whale shots were taken during a whale watching excursion in Juneau. With a big 100-400mm zoom lens I was able to get some good shots of spouting and breaching whales. When you see the tails go up in the air, that means they are about to go for a deep dive and you won't see them again for a while! The final shot is of the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship in Glacier Bay. All of these videos were shot with a Canon EOS 70D.
