Tim Burgess, Ocean Migration (ANIMAL 2024)

With its massive body suspended momentarily in mid-air, this whale seemed in between the presence of two worlds, transcending the boundaries of both sea and sky. Droplets of water hung in suspended animation, sparkling like diamonds caught in the golden sunlight, creating a spectacle that defied my imagination. This perfect alignment is a moment I have been searching to capture for several years. An awe-inspiring moment compared similar to finding a needle in a haystack - A zenith of natural perfection. It was a huge reminder of the vastness and grandeur of our natural world and glimpse into nature's artistry. true testament to the enduring majesty of these creatures that call the ocean their home. Through modern technology, We are now able to document these moments from a safe distance with 7x zoom lens allowing us to see these animals like never before.
