Okay, so this wasn’t the first Blue-Footed Booby we saw but this was probably the first time we got this close to one, at least one who was posing so beautifully.  This shot was not easy, we were on an boat actively circling around this rock island while dealing with some waves when I nabbed this. I guess these are the shots that make me happy when I look back at them as I know it was more about a magical moment when it happened for it to all come together.  How do you make your magic?
