Sanderling
Hi Everybody,

This is an Image of a Sanderling that I got from my trip to Titchwell a couple of days ago. The tide was coming in so I lay down on the sand and slithered towards them 'seal style' so as to present less of a threat.

The techs were:
Nikon D2X, 200-400MM VR, 1.7X tc, 1/2500th sec @ F7.1. slight crop in PS.

Kind regards, Chris

Love the low angle, the 'bits' on the beach add interest and the bg blends well setting of the Sanderling, nice one Chris :smile:

Hi Chris,

Yes I very much like this too. Love the angle and the bits on the beach add to this image. Would love a shot right now. Haven't been out for ages and when I have, have had nothing to shoot!!! :frown:

Great shot :toast: :toast:

Nicely done Chris,

Very busy birds, and therefore more difficult than some, but you have managed a very nice shot of this chap!!
