Here’s one from this past week in California. I was in L.A. for work but was able to sneak out for a few hours here and there, including this quick trip up to El Matador State Beach in Malibu. This is a very popular spot and, at times, difficult to photograph because of all the people. That being said, it is also most likely the reason that this Brandt’s cormorant had no apparent fear of me. I was able to photograph it from about a foot away with the fisheye, capturing the beach and sunset in the background. Nikon D810 with Sigma 15mm fisheye lens, ISO 200, f/22 at 1/200th of a second, Nikon SB-900 flash unit
Terrific photo, Sean. I like the use of a wide-angle or fish-eye lens for wildlife. I just don’t get chance too often to do so, but you did to great effect here. Too bad you couldn’t sneak up to SLO County.
