p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Osprey's along Pawleys Island, SC shoreline


It was my first trip ever to South Carolina a couple weeks ago, I spent a week and a half exploring the shoreline of SC searching for Seascape compositions and of course Birds.

And had my most awesomeness day ever photographing Osprey.
This Beach, I would live on this beach Pawleys Island beach for one of many reasons but the amount of Osprey fishing along the surf break line was just epic all day, there were countless Osprey fishing all day, I arrived around noon and besides a 1/2 hour or so for lunch I was standing up to my knee's in the ocean photographing these Osprey hunt for fish up until sunset. Then landscape/seascape time.

I've always wanted to get this shot, Its always been on my goal list to get. got it pretty good wish I had more pixels on it. you see that breaker wall in front of me, well I could'nt cross it as there was the start of houses on the other side of it. If I were that owner of the house, I'd be out there all the time photographing these Osprey's as it seemed to be a hot spot for them.

Nice set Steve. You might want to crop off the dunes or at least a good part of them in the ones with the osprey diving.

The action captured is awesome! I would straighten out the horizon and crop out some of the foreground on the three middle images, though.

Morris thanks. yeah I was worried about the crop, when I post these first for FB I always crop them if there's enough pixels at 2000 longside and as tight as I can for the wildlife and being this was fullframe at 400mm this was as tight as I could go, wanted to leave some room with the bird going through the frame and thought the stone breaker wall would show the little of the action that I got from the bird, bit of a 3D layer thing. probally would never print this due to the breaker wall being too much of a distraction though. but yeah Osprey was in focus on the dive, I was just excited to get the action dive finally

Thanks bud, yeah I'm usually a stickler on rotating the horizon, thanks for the catch and reminder to check.

Robert yeah on the Beach, me neither, mark that SC beach down, there were tons of them flying from a treeline behind this beach to do there fishing in front of me, this was at the public access all the way south on that beach.
I also went to a pier later on my trip in SC and the Osprey according to local fishermen were stealing there bait before I got there. perching on the rail on the pier as well, kind've close to people like pelicans and other birds sometimes do on piers. must've been crazy to see that.
