Dolphins are hard to photograph
12 years ago
My chosen holiday option has been the coast of Wales and the bottlenose dolphins found there.
Dolphins move fast, can stay under for ten minutes at a time, do not move in predictable patterns, and appear for only a fraction of a second. If you're looking at your camera viewscreen, you miss them entirely. As a bonus challenge, you're standing on a wobbly boat.

I have over a hundred bad photos, and a single good one:

And I truly mean that. Even when well researched and prepared, it can feel like a futile quest at times. One good moment can mean success or failure.
That said, your best bet would be to find some dolphins and swim with them. :3
Oh, and apparently it's not a real option. According to this site:
Sick children are now taken to swim with Dolphins, and amazing healing powers have been claimed in the media. This however, is not possible in Britain, where the law prohibits approaching wild Dolphin.
The only solution? Massive furmeet to swim with dolphins in the Caribbean!
