CommentThe day was drizzly and overcast resulting in a pleasant muted high key colour throughout the frame. The feeding Sandpiper creates a reverse s curve vertically through the 'portrait' format. Whilst the head area is in focus the rest of the bird is softly rendered adding to the atmospheric feel of the overall picture. I was able to photograph this hand held from a relatively short distance from the window of the car. The sandpiper was able to go about feeding undisturbed.
EquipmentCanon EOS 5D Mark iV EF 300mm f2.8L IS ll USM + 2xlll Camera settings were ISO 500 @ f/5.6 and 1/2500 @ 600mm Taken at 4.09 pm.
LocationGoolwa barrages, South Australia
