“Hornøya is a tiny island and boasts the
northernmost bird cliffs in Norway; and each
year thousands of common guillemots come
here to breed. I have visited this place numerous
times, and finally had the backlighting conditions
I had been dreaming about. I used the lens
aperture to create pleasing ‘bokeh’ of the birds,
as well as impressions of light caused by the
sun reflecting off the ocean behind the birds.”i

“This night-heron was hunting at twilight. With
the help of several flashes, I was able to take this
picture in the failing light. In the warm summer
month of June at the Kiskunság National Park
in Hungary, waiting for such photo opportunities
is a pleasure rather than a hardship.”Camera Nikon D4S
