Behind The Lens:
20 miles into the Mediterranean Sea, I caught a glimpse of my first Storm Petrel. The tiny bird, little bigger than a sparrow, flittered out from behind a ripple in the water before disappearing just as quickly as it came. Then, hundreds began to flock, following in the wake of our boat, feet pattering across the waves. Everyone on board dashed to the port side, eager to photograph the abundance of Storm Petrels dappled in golden light. But, as someone who actively avoids following the crowd, I stood alone, pointing my camera in the opposite direction, envisioning something different. It was a risk, but despite the number of birds on my side being minimal and the visual disadvantages of finding a fast moving, pocket-sized bird on a bright ocean, the final result is considerably more satisfying.
