So, we are asked by Paula at Lost in Translation, to post again – our best shot from 2017. My choice are the few shots of Elliot’s Storm Petrel that I managed to catch from our boat in the Galapagos Islands. Long waiting and hundreds of shots – made for these two dancers. One photo in the shadow of the boat and the other on the sunny side. No perfection…but I treasure them very much.

Thank you so much, Ernst.
Ann-Christine, this is such a brilliant shot :). Thank you for the smiles, your creativity and your friendship in the past year. May this one be everything you want!
Thank you for being there, Paula. Your passion and friendship means a great deal to me ♥
A-C, WoOooOOw!!!!! What a fantastic catch you did here … stunning. So beautiful.

Fantastic image!!!!

Wow! Awesome shots Leya.
Thank you!
Es ist wirklich ein perfektes Foto. Hervorragend gut! Gratulation. Grüße aus dem Gebirge.
Thank you very much!
They are treasures. Love the smooth, satin-like texture of the water.
Me too. And I have done nothing to the photos except clarifying and a bit more or less light. The ocean looks so smooth. Satin as you say. I was so thrilled by their abikity to run on the water – and even to stand still on the water. I have never seen anything like it.
Yes, amazing creatures.
Happy New Year
To you as well San
Definitely beautiful captures, Leya. The multiple water ripples in the second one tell a story of motion. Happy 2018! 🙂
Thank you – Happy New Year!
Marvellous, and most certainly worth seeing again…. Are you staying awake to see the New Year in, A C? I don’t anymore!
I always do …🙄
Oh, well done! I no longer have the stamina!
Me neither actually..
