Welcome to Jonathan Ball Photography.
What's new?
Thank you for visiting this new website & blog. We're just finishing off the final bits of development so please excuse the mess while we tweak a few things
I happened to be flicking through the TV channels the other night and found that BBC2 was showing a documentary called
"High Seas" as part of their Springwatch season. This programme spent an hour documenting the work of wildlife film-maker Gordon Buchanan as he set out from the Shetland Islands on a commercial fishing trawler on a quest to get some footage of Killer Whales (
Orcinus Orca) hunting in the North Sea.
Taken back in 2004, on one of the most exciting photography days I can remember, this picture captures some of the greyness, cold and wetness of Arctic Norway in November. I hope it also conveys some of the majesty, power and downright awesomeness (and I use that term deliberately) of a pair of Killer Whales as they swam alongside our tiny rubber boat.
