Birds enjoying the sunset at Hafelekar Peak in Innsbruck While I was standing at the peak, talking to some students from Luxembourg and waiting for the right moment to capture the sunset, I saw that these yellow billed choughs were always landing on the same spots, supporting the leading line of my composition. These birds were used to people, so I decided to approach them with my wideangle lens. But for some reasons they always flew away. Happily they returned, so I had to change my plans. Knowing that I could approach them without my camera, I took my iPhone out of my pocket, switched to the wide angle lens and I moved as closely as I could get, holding the phone infront of my stomach. So I took the shot that you are seeing now.
