Favorite Dolphin images


Over the years I've taken some really nice dolphin photos. Some of which have won awards. Here are just a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

Taken in Bermuda off our boat doing open ocean work with Cirrus



This is my good friend Lokelani. This image appeared in Nat'l Geographic Magazine, 100 years of the bathing suit issue. She is flanked by Kolohe and Hanalei.
It took about 23 takes to get the perfect image.

This is "Shaka". I won 1st place for this image.
Shot laying down on dock with 300 telephoto lens.


Lokahi, Kolohe, Kuokoa. 1st place award.
I call this one "Tri-Dolphin"





Dolphin Bubble Silhouette with fish eye lens.
About 17 feet deep shooting towards surface.
