Tony, thanks for the kind comment. The shot is proof that the old adage, that even a blind squirrel sometimes finds an acorn, is true. The cormorants were an unintended result of me testing a new lens, a Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM Contemporary, that I got with the intention of it becoming my "walking around" lens.

A very nice result with the new lens.  Which body did you use?  The image is so sharp and clear that I find it most impressive.  I had been using a Sigma 70~300 APO Macro Lens which I really enjoyed, however I discovered that going with third party lenses left me high and dry when I decided to upgrade to a better DSLR body.    However, nice work on this one, as I am certain you will get many rewarding results in the future.  Cheers.  Tonytee.  )

Tony, thanks again for the kind and encouraging words.

 

I used my Nikon D7500, BBF and focus set to AF-C. I had the camera set to take Single rather than Continuous images since I hadn't planned on taking any BIF images. The image itself is a 2055 x 2740 pixel (3x4) crop from the original 5568 x 3712 pixels (3x2) image.

 

EXIF: 1/500 sec, f/6.3, ISO 100, FL = 175mm (35mm equivalent = 262mm).

I never was a soldier but…

Is it clever to be under a bomber?
