Turkish prosecutor makes name for himself as bird photographer

A public prosecutor in Turkey's Samsun is seeking thrills outside the courtroom. For four years, Vedat Soğukpınar has donned camouflage clothing on his days off to snap photographs of rare birds across the country. He hides himself for hours to get the perfect shot, and says that bird photography requires great concentration and care. Soğukpınar even compared bird photography to war photography.
