p.1 #1 · I sat on a rock at the edge of a pond


at the Marine Nature Study Area in Oceanside, New York. It's a little pond about 30 feet from the main trail and a faverate place to photograph wading birds. My legs were in front of me as I sat on the thin flat rock with my camera on my tripod as low as I could have it and still see over the grass. I used my LCD to compose environmental shots on this cloudy morning. These are some of the visitors to the pond.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Very nice Morris. I have always thought these birds look so graceful and delicate.

Nice captures, Morris. I like the low angle.
No. 3 would be my pick -- I like both the composition and the inclusion of the Sandpiper.

Cute little guys, nice work getting the low view.

I'm always impressed by what these smaller shore birds manage to pick up to eat... sometimes small fry of much larger fish, little sea worms and stuff, you just never know, but they seem to ingest it all with no problem.
