The Pillars At Little Estero Lagoon: Pt III

There was an image overload from my last visit to the beach that resulted in this three part article highlighting the "pillars" at Little Estero Lagoon.

The Double-crested Cormorant above (image 1) was photographed at Little Estero Lagoon in March 2015.

The conclusion of this chapter has me reflect on the full enjoyment experienced that morning. It wasn't too many days later that I heard a report on the radio of recent shark sightings that were unusually close to shore.

The presence of the sharks was attributed to chumming by fishermen. It was recommended that the anglers not do that. I would agree as I like to go in the water and not have a concern about anything more aggressive than a dolphin (which itself alarms me enough on occasion).

There was a point when I was compelled to do the unorthodox in producing image #19. That was to use the maximum exposure bias of the camera to capture an image which resulted in it producing a result similar to what's seen here. The effect works much better with the white bird.
