EARLY MORNING SCENES FROM BEAUTIFUL ROCKPORT HARBOR, GRANITE PIER, MR. SWAN AND DUCK ENTOURAGE, PAIR OF JUVENILE DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS, FV WINDY, AND OF COURSE, MOTIF NO.1

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

Photos from an early morning walk all around Rockport Harbor (sub0zero walk I should add). My technique for photographing when it’s 10 degrees out is to snap away until my fingers can’t stand it any more, run back to the car, which has been left running, warm up, and then try again. Repeat in ten to fifteen minute intervals. I have the utmost respect for the fishermen; I don’t understand how they can work on the water when the air temperature is so cold.

  1. Kim, these are stunning! The sleeping cormorant is exceptional. Every time your photos are posted, I’m delighted. Would you consider a 2018 calendar??? Please???

  3. And…. I must admit that I’ve always been very very fond of cormorants because they look a little ungainly to me.. sort of disproportionate for a water bird, but look at the grace of this one!!! Beautiful!
