I'm down in Nanaimo BC this week and most mornings have had time to get out on the water and chase down birds in a kayak. Fun!! Here are a few from yesterday's outings.




1) Pigeon Guillemot






2) Black Oystercatcher






3) GBH fishing






4) Killdeer






5) Black Oystercatcher

Sounds like fun. I love the black on black of the first. Almost looks like a studio portrait.

Great set Geoff - I imagine that is a pretty good lightweight combo with some decent reach to be shooting from a kayak and not worrying about becoming too unbalanced.

Thanks. Yes the 100-400 has been very easy to use from the kayak. I just keep it between my legs and can easily pick it up as needed and swing around without issue.

#1 is a fine lesson in exposure Geoff, you just showed everyone how to do it properly! The deepest of blacks in the BG, a fine display of kind of a chocolate black to blue black on the subject with an wonderful accent of a clean and detailed white.............you nailed this shot and its presentation in a most enjoyable way

#2 love the depth of the shot. Great image sir!
#3 Always nice to see a good vertical comp, well seen here.
#4 Amazing detail wide open on that zoom with that 7DII. Wonderful look to the eye too, great image!
#5 Nice work with this tricky lighting, nice comp. Perhaps the foreground could be blurred a bit more to soften it up.

This is one fantastic set in every way, awesome and you have my vote!

Beauties from a great combo. Some pretty white hots in some though.

Yes, great work Geoff. I know many people swear by kayak but I would be too scared that all my stuff would go for a swim!
