| This Sanderling
(Calidris alba) was running along the
wet sand at Bolivar Flats, Galveston Co., Texas in September,
1999. It was photographed with a Canon EOS 1N and EF 600 mm F4
lens with a 1.4X extender from a tripod on Fuji Sensia 100. From
a series of about 8 frames, this is the best shot. This species
can be extremely hard to capture well on film since they are
so active. In this particular shot the bird is actually in mid-air! |
