p.1 #1 · A few water birds



From the Gujarat trip I did earlier in January.

1. Purple heron, unlucky enough to catch it in it's own wing's shadow

2. Great egret

3. Sand plover(?)

4. Crab plovers - apparently they are found in just a handful of places around the world. One of the few birds which don't need color to shine!

5. Brown headed gull - can't seem to get my whites right

All shot with the Canon 550D, Sigma 150-500, f8

C&C sought

Cheers,
Hayath

So Awesome!! These are all great shots, and a variety of very cool species. I'd love to see those plovers! (3 looks like a Lesser Sand Plover - but don't quote me on that)

Very nice set, Hayath.
I think #4 looks really special. Well done.

can't seem to get my whites right I don't know Hayath, you nailed the whites on the Plovers There you captured many subtle shades of white. Be diligent checking you LCD after your shots, you can then correct/adjust as needed and you will nail them all the time Great set, I'm going with the Plovers. They look so formal/elegant almost like backwards tuxedos!

nice work - i agree with the others that the crab plover shot is very cool. we just need one non-conformist to be looking right!

Thanks Ashley, #3 does seem to be a lesser sand plover.

Thanks Tim for the tip and those kind words. Yeah these have a certain elegance about them.

Thank you Dorian. Yeah a single one looking in the opposite direction would've made it more interesting

Ah, that must be one of the "other" places these are found in, any shots to share?

Adding a few more of the Crab plovers, as we kept inching closer
