Sanderling Resting Among the Bubbles.

[Daniel Cadieux]

After feeding on a few large worms it was time for this individual to take a well deserved nap! was able to photograph it from all sorts of angles from its resting pose (and even full-frame head and shoulders) and even left it as is - this was after spending an hour and a half with it...talk about working a subject.

Canon 7D + 500mm f/4 II + 1.4TC, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/640s., f/7.1, ISO 800, natural light, handheld, crop after small rotation but basically FF, darkened pupil, lightened iris, darker streak in the BG toned down.

Doesn't get much better Dan.

Looks very nice, Daniel. These birds are very active most of the time.
