Half stepping with the prize. 🪶🐌🦩

Early mornings at Lake Blalock pay off. Caught this Limpkin stepping through the shadows right as the sunrise started breaking through the tree line, giving me some dramatic side lighting

Laughing gull I shot at sand Key beach, it was sunset when I went to scout and this guy gave me a few moments for a test shot.

I loved the muted pastel colors behind this bird and he was such a great model and very cooperative

🕊️ A dove carries silence
stitched gently into feathers,
landing where the morning
forgets to make a sound. ✨🌿

Down and and dirty in the shore sand getting the last minutes of light and painted sky at sunset

I hanged out with this Laughing gull for about 10 minutes before he flew off 🐦

By choosing a wide aperture, I limited the depth of field to the bird, allowing it to stand out clearly from the background. This creates a soft and dreamy atmosphere, while the gradual transition from darker tones on the left to lighter tones on the right subtly reinforces the bird's gaze and direction.

A lone Black Skimmer about to Slice through the surface of the gulf at sunrise. I spent two days with this bird as he only comes around this particular shore for a few minutes & disappears the rest of the morning
