Last winter, I took a family vacation to Sanibel Island, Florida. I wanted to go there for a long time - I heard about the seashells, the birds and exceptional ocean views. The island did not disappoint at all - though it was mostly a family and relaxing trip, I did use my camera and photographed for several hours at a time to capture some of the fleeting moments. The island was not busy which made it even more wonderful to slow down and enjoy the tranquil moments.
The sky was void of any cloud on this particular evening when a gorgeous day was coming to an end. I used my Sigma 150-500 lens with a 1.4 multiplier on my D700 to shoot some really graphic shots using the ocean and the sun. The bird action was not there (I am not much of a bird shooter anyway) - so I focused on something different that I never did before. To my delight, I had some boats and a lone paddle boarder floating into my scene to help me make the most of the situation. The color of the water and reflection was just out of the world.
And the final shot...
I am planning to make a triptych with these 3 shots.
I will share some of the avian images in the next post.
