I love spending time in front of seabirds behind my super-telephoto lenses. Waiting for that perfect pose do require patience and remaining still, but in the right light, with the right background… the results can be rewarding. I carefully watched the sun angle until the water in the background fell into the shade of the island and I just love the resulting midnight blue background.
