The Chesapeake Bay at dawn in early June is a quiet and cool place. The egrets and osprey are active, but few in number in this little beach town. This fellow was rock hopping and getting a bit of breakfast. The last shot was panning the bird in flight as it cut straight in front of the sun. I thought the effect was pleasing, if not a “great” shot in a technical sense.
I was shooting with my Nikon D810, AF-S Nikkor 80-400mm ƒ4.5-5.6G ED VR.
