Emerald Eyed Cormorant

Double Breasted Cormorant

Emerald Eyed Cormorant
Originally uploaded by eclectic echoes.

A double breasted cormorant in the Mystic Estuary, Mystic, CT. Taken while checking the performance of a new 400mm lens. Pretty nice, but it is going to be mostly manual focusing. The autofocus is too slow for wildlife shots (unless it’s a nest site or some such). This shot actually is with the 400 and a 1.4x teleconverter. So a 560mm shot or an 896mm shot on a standard 35mm system with the cameras 1.6 multiplier. (I do like that multiplier for this type of shot!)
