Capturing an image like this requires a) finding a nice rock jutting out into the ocean where the birds pass by, b) putting on the longest lens I own (unfortunately, not that long), c) waiting patiently, d) setting the camera to fire many shots automatically in sequence, e) somehow watching the birds, the waves, and the background all at once, f) going through lots of poor shots to find the few decent ones.
I joined the throng of photographers and general gawkers this past weekend and travelled to the eastern Sierra to view the aspens turning red, orange, and gold.
