Neotropic Cormorant

Christopher Dodds October 1, 2022

A Neotropic Cormorant lands directly towards me. If truth be told, I was really hopeful of a similar image of a Redhead, Widgeon or Canvasback, but this is, without a doubt, my favourite image of a Neotropic Cormorant.

Atlantic puffin in flight with Capelin on golden cliffs

Christopher Dodds August 20, 2022

An Atlantic Puffin brings Capelin (fish) to its baby in a cliff-top burrow. The sun rose through a bizarre melange of light fog and residual smoke from forest fires further north. The resulting golden honey-brown light only lasted a short while before a heavy blanket of fog rolled in.

As much as I love shooting tight, frame-filling action images, I always make sure to cover the bases for all uses and shoot some images where the subject is less than 30% of the frame; a requirement often requested from magazines and calendars.
