It was dense fog and off and on rain when I got to Cape St. Mary's in Newfoundland,. it didn';t stop me from getting out there as long as I could, getting drenched down to the skin, and eventually contracting strep throat and a cold that weeks later I am still battling,.

But I got some shots anyway.

The Gannets emerge from the thick fog like ghosts;

Suddenly a bird with 6 foot wingspan is zooming right over your head, only seconds ago it was invisible in the haze. So close you can't frame it (uncropped)

The trade off is distance, farther away = easier to frame and track, but also = more fog between you and the subject, lower quality detail etc..

Sometimes you get a good balance;

Like the fog, adds a certain mystery. Sorry about the illness.

Dog fight! (dove fight?)
Very cool Mike.

Thank you very much Jake. I think it was just a husband and wife dove spat; or something like that.

Love them all. Lovely photos.
Despite the consequences I trust you were not disappointed.
Personally it all adds to the overall effect and gives us the privilege of seeing another side of their existence.

The bottom two are stunning

I haven't posted here in forever but I took these the other day just as the light was fading fast. I love my Aloe Vera in bloom & it is a huge hummingbird attraction.
