It's tough to take pictures of dolphins. Trust me... all those white specs in the water are dolphins jumping. When we left LA I got a great shot of a dolphin on my first attempt. This is the best of 20 shots I took toward the end of our trip. I resorted to just shooting pictures wildly hoping to get something - this is the best that I got. For what it's worth, the dolphins seemed happy to see us! We also saw some whales (I didn't have my camera at the time) and lots of flying fish.
