Cormorant Flying Low

I was pleased to capture this low flying cormorant in the Fern Ridge Wildlife Area before I fell. I was using the Back Button AF which I find enables more success than shutter button half press. The cormorant, perhaps this is a Double-crested Cormorant, has a lot more pretty detail to see when viewed up close.

Super flight capture of him, Vern. And I agree - a Double Crested. ;)

Nice in-flight shot with this detail.

A well defined image. I use the rear button focus with the top button as only a shutter release for the vast majority of my photography. Even with landscape and other images most often I focus where I want the focus point to be then re-compose so it is needed for that too.

Terrific sharp and detailed flight shot Vern.

the back button AF does work well, as is clearly evident in your fine capture..
