Pelagic Cormorant

[dankearl]

Another species that nests on the rock outcrops on the Oregon coast and is
just accessible a few times a year.
A Nightmare to expose they are black silhouettes in flat morning ocean light.
I raised the exposure. Maybe 1/2500 not fast enough as they are the fastest cormorants I have seen.
The surf in the BG is what is coming at you while you are shooting....
D500, 500pf, f5.6, 1.2500, iso250

Hi Dan, great flight pose with the raised wings. Exposure looks good, and the light has brought out the iridescence nicely.

Neat looking cormorant. Stand out nicely against that breaking wave.
