Fluidr / E A R L Y - B I R D by Andrew Hocking Photography

🐦 E A R L Y - B I R D 🐦

While searching for photo opportunities at Stithains Lake early one morning, I spotted this lone boat amidst the mist.

By the time I got into position at the water's edge, a cormorant perched itself on the front of the boat as a little bonus!

Capturing a pleasing shot wasn't easy. I wanted to make the most of the rising sun while capturing the bird in a pleasing pose. But the bird kept moving - and as the boat was slowly moving in the water, I had to keep repositioning and recomposing.

Canon 6D MkII | 70-300mm lens at 255mm | ƒ/11 | 1/250 sec | ISO 400 | Tripod | No filters | Taken 18-10-2020 at Stithians Lake
