I wanted to shoot chicks, I really did, but I got totally sucked into flight-work during my first time time at Nickerson last week. It took a while to sort out the light angles
with the beach running east west and the birds using feeding lanes mostly - and frustratingly - parallel to the light source, but I eventually figured it out and walked away
with a couple keepers.
