Northern Gannet Artistic Eye Detail

Here’s another Gannet from the first day (June 5, 2023) of my Gannets Galore and so much more workshops on Bonaventure Island. Near the end of our very long day of rain, it started to let up a little, and I decided to lie down in the wet grass and wait for a Gannet to get close. I spent almost 25 minutes with it before starting the hike back to catch the boat. I wanted something that would work on a cover, so I kept the camera in vertical orientation and let the composition …develop - smile.

Great Grey Owl NIGHTFLIGHT

I recently had this beautiful Great Grey Owl all to myself. It spent most of the afternoon sitting on a big green garbage can with its eyes closed. Just as I decided to tweak a few settings on my Sony Alpha 1 camera, it perked up and started to look around as Great Grey Owls do; it really is a fantastic species to spend time with. This image is one of 12 that I made during its flight from the garbage can to a branch just before it got dark. Not all of my stories are action-packed romantic encounters in the wilds - smile.

Private owl prowls are available on a limited basis at a discounted price of USD$1,000.00/day plus local sales tax. Shoot me an email if you would like more details: chris@chrisdoddsphoto.com
