Good morning Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all today are some new shots and these are a new species I have never posted yet to this date. I finally got to another folder of some cool shots of different birds etc. Now this bird right here is pretty cool to capture and it is way different than the other Cormorants, when it is mating season the colors of the blue and around the eyes sparkle, not to mention their eyes are just so dang cool looking. I missed capturing them with the pearl looking spots around the eyes, that is what every photographer is trying to capture but I did get some good ones towards the beginning of the year. I did just go again, not as cool but got some shots using my brother in laws camera. No edits on those for now but some day. These shall do for now and I do have more to show, so you all my get some more shots down the road. They are edited and ready but I have so much to share, I have been editing a lot lately, so lets get into today work. These shots, the cover shot I just had to go with, the one above. I was trying to get a good head shot or two and this one is so nice, I made it a bit darker so the blue pops at you, they eyes look so nice too here but I have more closer ones I will show later that highlight those eyes. Also some have the white hair on the side of the head like this one but most don't, I like these ones with that extra hair or feathers I suppose. It was baby season here too, I have some on eggs and only one or two had the babies out, which I got shot of too, again those will be later and were harder to get. In this shot below, the second one is the Brandt's Cormorant sitting on the eggs. Such a cool shot here, the colors are nice, I just don't really like the background but take what you can get I suppose.
Here is another shot, another angle of another Brandt's Cormorant sitting on eggs, nice but I cant stand the background but most of the ones I got here have it. Its the location is for the reason but I'll take them.
In this last shot here presented today is another close up of another Brandt's Cormorant and sure is cool but I still wish I got pearls. The pearls are like white around the eye and all the skin looking stuff around the eye and beak. Maybe another day but not when I just recently went, so another, another day. Haha. Anyways hope you all enjoy these, more to come and to all thank you for your support, have a blessed one.
Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
