http://maleorca.livejournal.com/17120.html Josh McInnes captured a fantastic underwater shot of orca! "I was able to obtain this awesome shot of underwater orcas the other day! Using a gopro camera. I was sitting there and and suddenly a group of whales surfaced so I threw in the camera and did not know what I would obtain as footage, but here is what I got!!" |
