Witless Bay Ecological Reserve

Three images of part of the rocky shore along one of the islands at The Witless Bay Ecological Reserve.

After shooting Whales for about 40 minutes, we cruised along the shore of one of the rocky islands of the reserve for about 40 minutes. Then a 20 minute ride back to the dock and the two hour cruise was over.

Top image: A section of the shore where Black-legged Kittiwakes are most dominant. Shot at 102 mm.


A section of the same shore area shot at 300 mm.


A section of the same shore area shot at 420 mm to show more detail.

Nikon D300
1/500s f/8.0 at varies mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
