p.1 #1 · Afternoon with the Cormorants

Went out to my place on the batture. What a glorious evening, a bit cold and windy, but lovely setting sun.

I was laying next to the waters edge hoping that the grebes would come by. They didn't , but some cormorants ( I think juveniles) were very obliging.

As always your nits and crits are much appreciated.

Hope you enjoy,

Birdie

Awesome set, Birdie. I really love the light on your cormorants. Love the detail and the yawning in #1 and big catch in #2. All 3 excellent shots.

These are all very nice. I especially like the last one; it gives a sense that the bird is enjoying the last bit of warmth and light before sunset. You might consider opening up the blacks to give a bit more detail.

Very nice shots, Birdie. How did you go from macro to the long glass? I'm curious because I've started shooting with an old manual focus 400mm Nikkor strapped to my film cameras and I'm loving it. Can't really afford the high end AF stuff right now. Would love to be able to shoot an AF 400mm f2.8. Just for grins, ya know?
