Long-beaked common dolphins are gregarious and are often seen ‘porpoising' at the water surface, breaching and bow-riding for extended periods of time. They are also highly vocal and like the short-beaked common dolphin, can be heard whistling to each other when they are above the surface of the water. They typically travel in large social groups numbering between 10 and 50 dolphins.

A friend took us for a boat ride while in Florida and these beauties followed along for a while.
After the encounter, I discovered that somehow while on the boat my camera got switched to a black and white setting. Thankfully, the other settings were quick enough to catch some of the action.
Two Common Dolphins, of the Cornish Coast at Padstow
The common dolphin is the name given to two species (and possibly a third) of dolphin making up the genus Delphinus.
Prior to the mid-1990s, most taxonomists only recognised one species in this genus, the common dolphin Delphinus delphis. Modern cetologists usually recognise two species — the short-beaked common dolphin, which retains the systematic name Delphinus delphis, and the long-beaked common dolphin Delphinus capensis.
The common dolphin is not the dolphin of popular imagination despite its name; that distinction belongs to the bottlenose dolphin due to its widespread use in marine parks and its appearance in the television series Flipper.However, this dolphin was the most frequently represented in the art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome.
Capturing a dolphin in mid-jump was very challenging, but they gave me the opportunity when they kept racing alongside the boat playfully. I set the zoom lens to 100mm (as little as possible) to increase the field of view. I then tried timing a series of bursts, anticipating when they would jump. A little luck and a little skill combined to give me this awesome image. The spray off the boat, visible as white dots in the lower right, only added to the feeling of the image.

Info: A group of dolphins is called a pod. A pod usually is formed of around 12 dolphins, and it is the usual social group of dolphins. > www.dolphins-world.com/what-is-a-group-of-dolphins-called/

The Dolphin Inn at Kingston, Devon,
The main building of the pub was originally three 16th Century cottages before being joined together and converted. The cosy interior features exposed stonework and pleasant low lighting.
The whitewashed building opposite the pub is now an accommodation block and is about the ideal distance to go from for a pint! (Or to wander back to after some)
The dolphin breached the water with a corkscrew twist to give additional height. It reached about 5m clear of the water, just avoiding a belly flop on landing! All this with the Ceredigion coastline in the background. A fabulous encounter...
Gulf Shores, Alabama
This was a blast! I must say it was a challenge to capture these dolphins...The trip was almost over before I got a shot..

Dolphin Watch
My work Christmas Function this year consisted of a ferry trip down to Port Arlington, Wine and Food tasting before being picked up by Sea All Dolphin Swims to do some Dolphin, Seal and other wildlife watching at the Port Phillip Bay Coastal Reserve. The entire trip was fantastic and the team at the Sea All Dolphin Swim company in Queenscliff, Victoria, Australia were incredible showing us around and finding the dolphins. This image was one of the Dolphins (from a pod of about 6) which were following the boat, I will post more photos I got later on but it was well worth the trip and a fantastic experience. Next time I will try for a Dolphin Swim :) and Bring my Polarizer...
