PIF
Pigeon in Flight. I got this frame back in May in Bolsa Chica, I had been shooting at Bolsa for almost a decade and it was one of my favorite spots for shorebirds. Unfortunately starting from 2018 the shorebird population dropped from hundreds if not thousands to zero. No more least terns, elegant terns, etc. I spent an evening there this summer too and didn't see much to point my lens at. Out of boredom I grabbed a few frames of this pigeon flying around, a common abundant specie but I actually find the topside pretty. I am not sure if Bolsa will ever bounce back and become a photography spot again but here is to the good old days
shot with the D5 and 500 PF + TC-14E III ISO 1000 f/5.6 at 1/3200 sec hand held processed with C1P. unlike the D850, the D5 can still rock the focus with a max. aperture f/8 combo's such as the 500PF + 1.4X TC.
