Sandpipers

Comments welcome. Thanks.

6/6 Good photo

Jerry, very interesting and lively composition. I love how all the sandpipers are bound to one plane by the land in the shot, but also that they are not static at all, they are more like a moving living organism on this photo. It is amazing that you picked the moment when absolutely every bird here is in focus.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Dmitry, thanks for the compliments. This shot is not as easy as most people would think and I am glad that you notice the most important part here - to get all of them in focus. I took a lot of shots and gladly to find out a couple of them came out OK. Here is the technical data:

 

Nikon D1X with AF Nikkor 300mm/f2.8 lens + Kenko Pro 2X converter. Set to manual focus mode. Exposure 1/500 sec at f2.8 with -0.7 EV. ISO 125.

Beautiful shot, you have a heck of a lot more over there than we have here.I found four paltry ones yesterday.

Nice lighting and contrast. I like the natural abstract effect.
