Humpback near Kona

Ok, here's a picture I took with my 35mm SLR. Film speed 800, 300mm telephoto lens. the Gray whale was shot with a 5mp 3x optical zoom digital. Where 1 in 8 might turn out with the digital, 1 in 10 film shots dont work out -mostly due to pilot error.

A digital SLR would work much better than a point & shoot, but then your looking at $1000 plus for a good camera & lens. I hope Film isn't really going away.

By the way, should you get the chance to go whale watching in Hawaii, I recommend it.
