I've been busy processing yesterday's photos and I'm sharing one from late afternoon at Nickerson Beach.

041115DSC_9313 by Morris0, on Flickr

D300 + 80-400 VR @ 400mm, ISO 400, 1/1000, f8, fill flash (Metz 65 + JJR flash extender)

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Nicely done and I see you are using a different flash and extender...funny, it reminds of a scene from Field of Dreams....I wonder if it crossed the line?

Ahhh, white foam and reflections in the surf . . . . You're making me want to get out there and get some shorebird photos. Good work, Morris.

If you hadn't dressed up to fill flash, I would never have known it was there. Great job.

Thank you Eric,
You were away when my SB-910 failed. Its on it's way to the shop and I should have it back in about a month. As I knew I'd be without it for so long I decided to try out this Metz flash as I'd heard very good things about Metz and they all appear to be true.

As for crossing the line, well the line crossed it as the water was receding :-}

Those oyster catchers are cool. Nicely done. I like the nice low angle. I would try a crop to remove about 1/6 or so on the left and a bit off the bottom just to get a larger subject in the frame.

Thank you Dave,
Compositional guidelines suggest placing the subject in the middle of a reflection so top and bottom would need to go and I like the tones around my subject so I did not go closer. I have others coming that are closer and you may enjoy more
