Cormorant
Cormorant
This cormorant has been captured with a Nikon D700 camera and 300mm lens. The image has been converted to monochrome in Photoshop. Long lenses are required when approaching birds and you need to be careful not to disturb the bird. Some examples of the lenses required are discussed in the following links.
It does not really matter what brand of camera you are using as they are pretty much the same when comparing cameras at similar price points, but the lens is very important. Use a lens with as low an aperture as you can afford.

Hello Fotofocus,
My name is Catherine, I’ve been reading Black and White Photography and I’m impressed by the clean presentation and great quality your blog has. I like your writing style and the beautiful photographs you feature (love birds!). You have an interesting world portrayed here.
That is why I would love to add your blog in the blog directory that I admin. It’s a high web traffic, Page Rank 5 blog directory named Blogdire, http://www.blogdire.com, it’s visit count grows exponentially every day and has high quality gained by listing great blogs like yours, because it does not have advertisement nor pop-ups.
Having your blog listed in my directory, will definitely improve it’s page rank in search engines, (like Google), and you will have many visits to leave nice comments and feedback, and of course, more people to enjoy your blog and share your interests.
In exchange of becoming part of the directory, all I ask is a simple link to my other site, I can assure you, the operation is extremely simple and there is no money involved.
Let me know if you are interested and what you think.
Kind regards,
Cathy
