Location
This photo was taken at my favorite birding spot on my way to work. I pass a marshy estuary which has a viewing area. Many species of waterfowl and shorebirds hang out there.Time
Early morning- a few hours after sunrise (in Alaska summer that’s at 7ish).Lighting
In Alaska, light is ever changing, and I’m given new challenges every time.Equipment
My Panasonic FZ80, and my car window jam to stabilize the camera.Inspiration
I recently started birding and they just happened to be close by and not moving quickly.Editing
I did not.In my camera bag
My camera is always in my car.Feedback
Just shoot what you like. I never expected my pictures, this one included, to be picked for an award. (I almost didn’t share this one!) Don't be afraid to get creative.
