Impressive set of images Kirk the low angle on the sandpipers and the details there are just amazing
In #2 the bird closer to the lens seems like a giant compared to the 1 in the bg
#10 is outstanding!!!

Definatly gets better when you have real light to shoot with Kirk That Curlew shot is plain awesome, buddy! Also liked that 2nd Peli-Ken shot, as you knew I would
Zm
It was clear in Yorba Linda at 06:00 and when I got to SJWS it was fogged in... so I just made the best of it and am pretty pleased with my first marine layer series.
Wish I could've been lower for the Curlew but that just doesn't happen from the high trails at BC.
Thanks for the picks and I did know you would like the Peli-Kens.

Ah, it makes me realize once again that BC is still photograph-able even in the foggy mornings, which it was when I drove by on Monday then high-tailed it to a Golden Glow SJWS. The light on the Curlew is stunning and my favorite, but all excellent work, Kirk.
Best Wishes,
Steve
Actually 1-8 were shot that morning in the fog at SJWS Steve. I was anticipating the sunrise glow but the marine layer was stubborn and hung around til about 8:45. It worked out well though as I'm very pleased with my first fog series.

Ah, I'm very glad that you went out in the fog. These are really very wonderful foggy grey, grey-bird shots. 1 and 2 are my top picks here.
Thanks for the picks and the very nice compliment Josh, much appreciated.
