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.
