Neotropic Cormorant

Hello All

Here are a few shots of a couple of Neotropic Cormorants that I captured the other day, on the waters edge of the Corpus Christi Bay. Overcast, but the Sun did manage to break through on several of these shots

Canon EOS 30D, Canon EF 500mm f4L IS with Canon EF 1.4x II TC



f8 1/125 sec
1. Overcast

great series. 4 & 5 work best for me.

Great catch Kidd. I always love how the back feathers fit so smoothly. They look air brushed on.

Thanks Nitefrogger, and Mitch; I always loved that about Cormorants too.

Very good series indeed.

Thanks Sindri

Feather detail is quite outstanding in the first two shots.
Excellent series, well done.

Very nice shots. I haven't seen this bird before.

Very nice indeed. Ditto 4&5. Works the best. Well done on these

Thank You Tony, LT, and KTollig, I really appreciate your comments

Nicely done series Kidd, I am going to revist the cormorant colony here this year, I love the plumage they wear.

Thanks Trevor, I do too, I love these animals plumage too, it's as if each of thier feathers are solid, and unlike other birds feathers, (although I know that is'nt true).

Great sharp detail Kidd Like these a lot!!!

I really appreciate it Alex thank you.

You bet pal.... I gotta tell ya I like shooting overcast days.... I think the more even lighting helps a lot, as long as ya don't mind juicing the ISO, for the needed shutter speed..... Take care.....
