Morning fishing

Out at Coyote Point, I went hunting for birds to capture some interesting photos to enter into a competition. This photo did not qualify because you could not clearly see the bird and see exactly what species it was, but I love the composition of showing both fisher types in the same frame. The correlation of the bird fishing the same waters as the humans hit a chord in me showing how we can so easily co-exist with nature.

Using my 70-200mm f/4 L lens, it was so easy to get such great blur on the people fishing in the background. Birds are easily scared by the noises our cameras make, as well as anyone approaching closely to them. I wish I had a longer lens, but you make due with what you got when the opportunity arrives. Set to max focal range with the widest aperture, I was able to really crop most of the scenery out. The great benefit of using a telephoto lens is that it is able to compress the objects in the distance to make them seem closer. This let me really tighten up the image
