p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Oystercatcher in flight


I photographed this american oystercatcher at Nickerson Beach, Long Island, NY abut 15 minutes after sunset on Thursday.

060117DSC_4142 by Morris Bennett Altman, on Flickr

D300s + 150-600 Sport @ 600mm, ISO 800, 1/250, f8, fill flash (SB-910 + Magmod extender)

I did a small canvas expansion on the right side and removed a few distractions from the bottom of the frame.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Good work with the Magmod and 1/250 second. I thought I was the only one who expanded the canvas to remove distractions

Looking good Morris. I notice this bird is banded. How many of the OCs you photograph are banded?

Thank you Robert,
I expanded the canvas to get my subject out of the center. I used the clone stamp to clean up.

Thank you Joe,
I live in Queens which technically is on Long Island. Smith's Point is a long drive for me

I've had species that have eluded me for years and the solution is to keep trying

Thank you,
