Large seabird about to take flight, Galapagos, Ecuador 2019
We spent a week exploring, hiking and snorkeling in and around various islands in the Galapagos. While sailing near Isabela Island in a Zodiak craft with our guide, I spotted this large seabird on a rocky outcropping, about to take flight. I was "hand-held" using a Nikon 70-300 telephoto zoom, with a polarizing filter, and quite fortunate to have captured a few images from the moving water craft.
