The sea over the cobbles was churned milk white by the crashing surf. Such energy. The sky itself is churned. Marginal Way: Ogunquit, Maine, February 2026 — Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 24mm equivalent field of view. Processed in Photomator.

Black Scoters: Marginal Way, Oqunquit, Maine, USA, February 2026 — I went to the path along the sea cliffs to look for winter sea ducks close in…but most were well out beyond the surf line. Eventually I found a small pod of Scoters at the base of the cliffs, braving the heaving seas. This is cropped in from the large frame which excluded 3 more ducks, but I wanted to show more detail on the individual scoters. Sony a7CR. Tamron 150-500 at 500mm (cropped to something like 1000mm equivalent field of view). Program with bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
