I took this Sanderling a few weeks ago on a cloudy and foggy day at the Dutch coast.
I photographed a group of Sanderling, which were looking for food in the sand.
Every time when one of them found something in the sand, he ran quickly away with it to have is meal for himself.
I tried to catch this behaviour on picture, but it was really difficult with the light, so I tried something different here with over-exposure and long exposure.
I have to be honest here and respectfully say that this does not work for me. Subject is too small in the frame, walking away no less, and the blur looks more like a missed opportunity and not at all like a panned image. Keep trying and you'll soon get that artistic-looking pan-blur! :-)
Sorry Sebastian, while I like creative photography a lot and I love the monochrome atmosphere in this photograph I don't think this particular motion blur works for me.
