I’ve never been to the beach in winter, thanks for the pictures, I’ve been missing out.
It’s my favorite time of the year to be there– thanks
Who would think that the bits of foam retreating at the waves’ edge might mimic all the “bits” in a murmuration? I love it. There are such delights at the beach in winter.
Agree – lovely comment. Thanks Lynn.
Amazing John. At first I thought you were experimenting with a weird special effect 🙂
Curious to know how much time elapsed between first noticing the murmuration and actually taking the picture, and what other back-story details you might be wiling to share.
Hi Alan, there’s no digital sleight-of-hand here, only a common flock of Sanderlings “working” the shoreline. Typically they can be coaxed to fly 100′ away by a slow approach. I only got two exposures of them in flight and this one was clearly the winner.
…in case you were wondering, that’s 1/1000″ exposure. Thanks for the nice comment. 👋🏽
