Cormorant in a flap
A little splash from the wingtip touching the water surface is just visible if you look hard.
Yesterday, I made another attempt at photographing cormorants in flight at slow shutter speeds.
Reviewing last week's results, I realised that 1/100th was just too slow , so tried with 1/200 sec, and got some better results. Usually, I use something like 1/2000 sec for a bird in flight to get a sharp picture. I got several shots with the head and eye sharp and noticed there was more success getting the eye sharp on the wing downbeat, than the upbeat - I wonder why that is.....
This bird isn't showing any sign of the white throat breeding plumage that appears around Spring..
