White crane hunting.

Alongside the many grey herons, there was, of course, their white counterpart—a species very common in Asia. Hunting is a tricky business. The smaller juvenile was practicing, but even the adult bird came up empty-handed on my watch, catching nothing but water.

A little experiment taking this gull into the dark. The Idea is not from me, though. German PROFIFOTO Mag featured the work of Stefanie Müller (haven’t got the mag and this is quite a usual name in Germany, so no link here, sorry), who took animal portraits out of the context, namely their surrounding and put it into dim light. I was flashed by those images and tried it myself. So here’s my first attempt, using a young hering gull that I shot this summer on Sylt. The image wasn’t that sharp which keeps it from getting that brilliant look I aimed for. I’ll keep trying.
