Whales of the Kingdom of Tonga

[Ross Isaacs]

I recently returned from an expedition to The Kingdom of Tonga where I filmed humpback whales underwater on my Red One in a Deep Red.
Here is the Vimeo link if anyone wants to view the selects.

Hey Ross, were you on a rebreather for these or freediving? what lens did you use and how close were you to the "talent"?

Hi Rudi
No scuba (closed or open circuit) is allowed in Tonga to film the whales so we used snorkel. I was using both my 11-16 Duclos and the Red 18-50. The whales approached to within touching distance.
