Oooh - lovely picture. Last time I went to COAA we went out to look for dolphins but the weather was bad - raining and rough sea [fringes of a hurricane apparently] so I think the dolphins must have taken cover!!! Will definitely try again next week.

Me too.
How did you manage to get that shot they moved so quickly. when we were in Australia they said to take the photo as soon as you see a grey shadow in the water, if you wait for them to come up you will miss it?

I guess we got lucky, the Dolphins were pretty lively when we were there. I have something like 30 minutes of video of them.

Let's hope we get lucky too. On the Australia trip, there were lots swimming around but none leapt out of the water like that. also that was the 6th trip we had been on to see dolphins and only the first we actually saw them.

So definitely going again.

I have about 10 minutes video footage in OZ. Wasn;t thinking of taking my Camcorder this time but now I've seen that perhaps I will.

Carole,
The picture was sheer fluke, I was sure I had pressed the shutter too soon, but the advantage of shutter dalay in digtal compace cameras was for once a blessing and I managed to get a snap at the right time. :cheesy:

Mike, do you think the members would be interested in seeing the video at a meeting, perhaps when we are short of something to do one evening, or do it on a members evening (and just have one member speaking plus video) for example.

I would certainly like to see it.

Well they can if they want, but its about half an hour long ! I am happy to do copies for anyone that wants one. I will bring a handful along to the next meeting (if I remember!)
