Cool cover shots-Whale cover photo of 2002 Glacier Bay Cruiseline – Image 2225

I shot the photo of the kayakers with the whales about eight years ago. When I shot this photo I thought I had a really hot shot that would sell and sell. It sat unpublished for about five years, and then clients started buying it. After 20 years of selling images, I still do not understand the markets and how they work. I shot this photo with a Nikon F4 on Fuji 50 slide film with a Nikor 80-200mm f/2.8 zoom lens.-Mark Kelley
