Not sure how common it is, but they seem to be opportunistic especially in winter when open water is harder to find. Pretty cool to watch!

Photographers, who are you inspired by right now? What other photographers are making you think differently about how you approach your craft?

Fine Art Bird Photos Photo collection by Matt Hoberg Fine Nature Photography

Check out my new gallery and print shop!
I have a few favorites available for prints and hope to add more. It feels great to have my work online even if it’s mostly just for me to enjoy :)

Any other Sony shooters out there? Just tried out my first Sony today, a used A9, and I was blown away. Send me any tips for making the most of this set up for action and bird photography!
