And So It Starts...Semipalmated Sandpiper.
What starts? Fall shorebird migration of course! My favorite bird photography time of the year. Although it is the right time of year I do not usually find cooperative subjects until around mid-August (perhaps a few days earlier) so I was not 100% prepared clothing-wise for this. I was not in Sunday dress mind you, but some change of clothes for the drive back home is normally needed when having belly crawled all morning on wet sand! To make matters worse (or better) it started to rain so I was wet front AND back....oh the annual shorebird good times have now just begun....:S3:
Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4 TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/320s., f/5.6, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, a green blob that just did not belong cloned out at bottom right, the brightest whites on the subject toned down via burn tool, about 85% FF.
