Jumping Dolphins
We saw these jumping dolphins (and about a thousand others!) on our whale watching trip to Baja California. Dolphins are a great animal to photograph when they are doing this, but you have to be quick!

Amazing shot, very cool! How did you time that? I have tried photographing them while they are jumping and somehow only ever get them half out or in the water. Great work!
