Pelican, Long Jetty

    By far one of my most requested pictures for printing is this one. The colours and composition still work for me and while they do I will continue to sell it here.

    This is one of those lucky pictures that happen because you have been practising for a long time and walking around with a camera all of the time. While walking along the jetty and still near the shore I saw a Pelican swimming towards the end of the jetty, from experience using the lens I had on the camera I knew the lens was not long enough to get a decent sized bird in the picture. So I ran as fast as I could ( loaded with tripod over my shoulder and a camera bag on my back ) and got to a point where I had to stop and squeeze off a shot or else the bird would go under the jetty.

    So this is the one and only picture, none before or after.
