Photographed last week at Ft. Desoto's North Beach. It was still quite early in the morning and I was already wet, dirty, and sandy from neck to toe...but it felt great!! First time I had ever seen a Dowitcher from close range.
Canon 40D + 100-400L @360mm, 1/1000s., f/7.1, ISO 400, -0.7 EC, fill @ 0.7 FEC, handheld lying flat on damp beach.
Beautiful photo Daniel! I don't mind the specular highlights in this image save for the one at the far left. Terrific light you had there. Sharpness is excellent. Makes me want to get on a plane and fly to Florida this weekend.
Excellent Daniel,
I like this alot. The colors are rich, vibrant and the details on the bird are razor sharp. The background wraps it up very nicely...:cool:
