    Default Ready aim fire



    Out for a walk near a local lake - this cormorant took off from just below me and I managed to snap one off at 300mm
    Unretouched pic - no colour tweak and no crop - it blows up to 4200 pixels across - lucky shot

    holy wow.

    that really is an awesome photo, especially for it just being snapped at random

    you could more than likely sit there all day and never catch a shot quite like that

    beautiful.
