Fun in the sun

It’s amazing photograph about the dolphin fish. The photographer shot  this picture from a small distance.He shot it when it flying in the air. Greg Huglin of Santa Barbara, Calif. captured these striking images of bottle nose dolphins during three trips to the South African coast between 2000 and 2007. He shot the photos along a stretch of coastline between Port Elizabeth and Wilderness.

Patience and perseverance

Huglin said he had to go through 1,200 rolls of film to end up with 175 high-quality dolphin photographs. He plans to return to South Africa again next year and use digital photography equipment on that trip.

Olympians of the seas

“It’s amazing how acrobatic dolphins are,” Huglin said. “Surfers ride the front of a wave, and dolphins ride the back of a wave. … The jumping ones, they wait for a wave to start breaking and they’ll leap right through the back. That’s how they get that giant air.”

Coming up for air

Bottle nose dolphins have blowholes on the tops of their heads, and they must deliberately come to the surface and open them to breathe. They usually breathe two to three times a minute, but they can stay under water for as long as 20 minutes.

Breathing deeply

Proportionally speaking, dolphins are able to store almost twice as much oxygen in their bodies as humans.
