Fluke | Humpback Whale Tail Photo

The Big Island, Hawaii | Pacific Ocean

Always a Humpback whale season around the Hawaiian Islands typically runs from December to April as these incredible creatures migrate to the warm Hawaiian waters to breed, calve, and nurture their young. Of course there's always the photos of the whale tail, or fluke, to be captured!

For me, capturing humpback whale photos during the season goes beyond just snapping a photo. It's about conveying the sheer scale and grace of these marine giants, as well as the delicate balance of life in the ocean. It's about capturing the playful antics of curious calves and the powerful displays of courtship by mature males.

But amidst the thrill of photographing these magnificent humpback whales, it's important to remember the importance of responsible wildlife viewing and conservation. Keeping a safe distance and respecting the whales' space ensures minimal disturbance to their natural behaviors and helps protect both the animals and their habitat.

Through my photography, I aim to not only showcase the beauty of humpback whales but also to inspire others to appreciate and protect these incredible creatures and the oceans they call home. Purchase your image to support these efforts and transform your home or office space today with this beautiful humpback whale photo. Photo © copyright by Deron Verbeck.
