These are orcas from the J pod of resident orcas in Haro Strait off the coast of San Juan Island. We are shooting today at the location of Ken Balcomb and the Whale Research Center. This shoot is kind of a double dip shooting on a project for members of the Cousteau family as well as  a shared piece for The Weather Channel. This is a fine crew, and I am especially pleased to be working with Florian Graner of SeaLife Productions.
