Re: What Lenses Should I Take for Whale Watching via Sailboat?

Of course the video was all ES, but it’s of my still attempts were MS. If you want to use the pre-shots feature that used in a prior whale watching trip in Iceland (from a much bigger boat), you’d have to use ES, which I did.  
With the 1 second of pre-shots and Constant High shooting I think I was able to capture the action a few milliseconds earlier. But a ton of throwaways!

In the ocean with no great vertical lines in the frame, I’m not sure that rolling shutter is that much of an issue. No one will notice that the waves might be at a slight angle. And if there were shoreline antenna or something like that in the frame, you could always “shear” your picture in post-processing the opposite way to take away the vertical shutter effect.
