Superb pics Nick - well worth the observation and the wait
I think its already well documented what a 'waiter' I am - a read thro the comments in my
Gallery will tell just how much and how long and how cold and stiff I get just patiently waiting
I do go wandering as well - more often in a vehicle than on foot in places where I know it will pay off - like the Western Isles where most of my best shots have been ambushed out of the campervan window after trolling slowly around little roads on high alert
It all boils down to where and what - but I am very prepared to sit for however long - even when I was fit, young and in my 'undamaged' 20's I still had the patience (which is funny cos for everything except photography I'm the most impatient blustering person you could find - once the camera is in my hands dead calm falls over me .......)
My latest wait paid off last week at Channonry Point for the dolphins (4 hours sat in a biting wind on that shingle beach
(and I still don't have great shots - the dolphins didn't leap out of the water once during the hour and a half they were in front but at least on this our 4th visit to Channonry they did actually turn up!)(and perhaps more importantly mum-in-law got to see them - on this her first visit - lucky or wot?!)
