    Nigel I've been a professional nature tour boat captain for thirty years and there's a simple solution to the "moving boat" problem: lean way back and yell "Stop!" as loudly as you can. You aren't working for the boat captain, he's working for you! And no true professional captain will fail to accommodate their passengers as long as it's safe to do so. That said you made some stunning images even with the moving boat problem unresolved!

    What an amazing photo workshop this was. I'm glad to have hosted it together with you! The whale video footage at the end is absolutely amazing. It's fun to see video of what I was taking photos off. I can see the moments when I press the shutter 😂Looking forward to doing a repeat in 2024!

    This video is spectacular, and hits me emotionally.
    It captured the memories and emotions of the workshop beautifully, I feel so privileged to have experienced all that with the group, and to be able to re-live it via UA-cam makes it even better.
    You articulated the photography challenges of the trip perfectly, but I’m proud to say I got some amazing images to go with the memories!
    Thanks for using my clip too! 3:51

    I still can't believe that so many still take the chance of not using a secure strap when holding a bulky camera and lens in this type environment.
