Note that the keys to creating a successful image here were working at 1200mm to isolate the subject and getting the lens just inches above the ground to soften the background by effectively moving it farther from the subject and create an intimate perspective. All that I ever hope for is one good image. Was getting up very early, working hard for more than two hours, and getting one very good image worth it? All in all, photography was very difficult, but I did make one very special image. I sat behind the tripod along the western colony ropes with the ground level 600mm f/4 GM lens/2X TC combo and going after backlit chicks for more than an hour. My only successful image was that of a single backlit skimmer chick. Then, I tried and failed on some backlit landing skimmers. When the sun finally cleared the cloud, there were few birds left on the beach due to too many bicycle riders, and the beach, was a mess with seaweed. A large cloud on the eastern horizon blocked the red sunrise light on the beach for ten minutes. The wind was from the west southwest, blowing straight at the sun. Image #1: Backlit Black Skimmer chickĬonditions for bird photography were extremely challenging on Saturday morning. Be sure to click on the image to enjoy a high-res version. Tracking: Spot S/AF-C with Bird-Eye/Face Detection performed perfectly. AWB at 7:08:23am on a mostly sunny morning. Keep reading to learn why that was a perfect exposure in this situation. When evaluated in RawDigger, it was determined that there were 124,000 over-exposed pixels.

The exposure was determined via Zebra technology with ISO on the thumb dial. Working off the titled rear monitor, I used the flattened, no-longer available Induro GIT 304L tripod/ Levered-Clamp FlexShooter Pro-mounted Sony FE 600mm f/4 GM OSS lens, the Sony FE 2.0x Teleconverter, and The One, the Sony Alpha 1 Mirrorless Digital Camera). This image was created on 6 August 2022 at Nickerson Beach Park, Lido Beach, Long Island, NY. Yesterday marked 39 years of bird photography for me. On 7 August 1983, I purchased my first telephoto lens, the Canon FD 400mm f/4.5FD lens. You will be amazed at how much you will learn! Missed Anniversary Please, also, consider joining a BAA IPT.

The first window for doing shorebirds at the East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge is from 10-12 August, the second window is 24-26 August. So far, seven folks have been in touch about joining me at either Nickerson or JBWR in the coming weeks for an In-the-Field session or two. This blog post took about two hours to prepare and makes one hundred thirty-seven days in a row with a new one. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope that you too have a great day. The forecast for the morning is a repeat of the last few days partly cloudy turning sunny with a brisk wind from the southwest. By 3:00pm the temperature on the field was 93° but it felt like 111°. I should have mentioned that our seats were in the sun until the 7th inning.

I lived in Brooklyn when the Miracle Mets won the World Series in 1969, and in Queens when they won again in 1986. The Mets are now 6 1/2 games ahead of the Braves in the National League East. The Mets pitchers struck out 19 Braves to tie the team record. Then he walked a batter and gave up a home run with the Mets leading 5 to nothing. Mets all start pitcher Jacob DeGrom was spectacular. I attended with younger daughter Alissa and my younger grandson, Idris. I kept 102 out of 1150 images, a keeper rate of 8.8%. I did well at sunrise on a single skimmer and then worked the birds with fish and the chicks. With the wind from the southwest, I was glad that it clouded over quickly.


on Sunday morning, the sun was out for a bit. While there were a zillion skimmer midair battles, it was very difficult to keep the birds in the frame the south wind was so strong that the birds were being blown to the north as soon as they took flight to squabble. I kept only 102 of the 2712 images that I created on Saturday afternoon, a keeper rate of only 3.7%.
