NC pelagics, photo highlights - Cuvier's Beaked Whale

On May 28th we were treated to a boatside Cuvier's Beaked Whale, a life mammal for me and certainly my personal "best bird" of the day!

And that concludes my photo summary of our Memorial Weekend pelagics out of Hatteras, NC. Only took me two and a half months! Really looking forward to spending more time in the Gulf Stream on Brian's boat. Thanks to Brian, Kate, Dave & Bob for a fine weekend on the water.

Photographs

After years of digiscoping I purchased a dSLR, the Canon 7D, in July 2011 along with the 400mm f5.6 prime lens. I upgraded to the 7D MarkII in September of 2016.
All of my shots on this website are taken with either the Canon 7D, 7D MkII or digiscoped with a Canon Powershot unless otherwise noted.
ALL PHOTOS are Copyright Nick Bonomo 2008-2017 unless otherwise noted.

Post-processing, when performed, is limited to minor exposure adjustments and sharpening. I sometimes do not have enough free time for this step and will post photos as-is. On several occasions I will not alter a photo if I feel that the change does not make the bird appear as it did in the field, for identification purposes. I currently shoot in jpeg only.
