Sooty shearwater

Another capture from our fishing trip. The seabirds weren't catching much either - at least whilst we were there. It is fascinating to watch these birds running along the water.

Great the way you've caught the water splashing up there

Great action shot of the bird running on the water.

Oh - well caught! I love watching them run like that it always make me laugh.

@robz I am so pleased when they finally achieve take-off. Then I am envious as they can fly!

@joannakate I just noticed that you can see where its legs were underwater before it started its running. Or is that my imagination? Thank you for commenting. Much appreciated.

@nickspicsnz I have been practising my panning - I must have improved a little bit.

Hi Liana, sorry I am late with your challenge. How would you feel about trying out home made filters - this could be anything from lace, a plastic bag to a glass held in front of the lens. https://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/diy-photo-filters-with-everyday-objects/

Let me know if that does not suit or you have done it before and I will (quickly!) come up with something else :-)

Great capture of the splashes!

@lizhammond Ooh that will be interesting. I will give it a go.
