Great photo! Not easy getting close to these suckers, they're pretty keen on knowing when you're looking at them.
It's possible if you're on a beach where fishermen give them treats! I think I've gotten as close as 6 ft.
My white whale bird to photograph. I stumbled upon one when I just got a new camera, and I had all the settings wrong. This photo is brilliant!

In PA it's hard to get within 50m of them before they boogie.
sometimes the ones near me that nest by trails are pretty tolerant. though, i was also at 500mm.
