<p>First time out with my new lens - a Tokina 400mm f/5.6 SD that I picked up off eBay. It was a bit of an unsteady walk out to the end of the reef, so I did without the tripod, yet the photos came out better than I expected. I'm looking forward to what the lens can do once I get to know it and have a tripod on hand.

These are three Black-Faced Cormorants (<i>Phalacrocorax fuscescens</i>) on a rock at Aldinga Beach, South Australia. Hand held.
