I previously worked as a news and sports photographer. Recently I have been enjoying wildlife photography. My approach toward bird photos is similar to sports photography. I attempt to capture mostly action and hopefully a unique perspective.
These two cormorants were cavorting about with each other recently while their friend looked on.
Finally, after several minutes of the pair’s public display, their friend couldn’t take it any more…and just shut his eyes…

Hi Veronika! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting! I’m so happy to see you here in my blog!
I use a 300mm lens with a 1.4 extender for most photos. I try to keep the shutter above 1000 (usually 1600) for BIF shots.
See ya
Phil
