Sanderling

Gallery: Regional: UKNPPosted September 2, 2011104 views6 comments

Thanks for the comments on my last image. Here is another one from Norfolk, and again on the beach at Titchwell. These Sanderling were running up and down the beach, feeding, and if I lay down, after a while they would go right past me.

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400 and 1.4tc
Handheld lying on sand
F5.6
1/1600s
ISO 400

Always nice to get them coming forwards, as opposed to side or back view. Well done.

That's a great pose and composition Oscar

I wonder if a little more adjustment (curves, exposure, fill light) might lighten up the bird slightly and lift the detail in the eye/beak?

Well done on the low angle, it really helps this shot. I think Simon is right about lightening the bird slightly though.

a nice shot Oscar. I agree a slight lift would help and there also seems to be a speck of sand or dust between the bird's legs which might be best removed.

Good looking image, Oscar. The low POV works a treat.
