I shot her last May at Ft. DeSoto park while laying in the sand so I didn't frighten her off the eggs. Using a Nikon D2Xs with the 600mm lens it was shot at 1/500 sec. at F7.
Welcome John to BPN !! Plovers are wonderful birds to photgraph and to have the privelge of finding one on a nest must have been exciting. It is a real bonus to be able to get a glimpse of the eggs but I would like to have seen a little more head turn on the parent so as to see more of her eye. The OOF vegetation in front is a bit distracting but almost impossible to avoid unless a different angle might have better. What is really desirable in an image is a low angle and you defintitely have that. Thanks for sharing John and will look forward to your further posts.
