For this one I waded out under the Sandgate bridge at dawn & took a 10 sec exposure @ f16.
Then I kept the camera in position & waited, waited, waited until the bird flew past and took a shot at 1/180.
Then I combined the two photos in a little program you might know called photoshop.
I can see this one working well on a large canvas.

Geezus Ben…..this is such a tremendous image, and your description is a good collaboration with the pic.
I’m curious…....at 1/180, was the birds reflection in the water as clear as the bird itself?
Or was there a ripple to clear up (with that lil program!!)?
Very impressed, and wish i had your foresight to plan something like this out!

Thanks David. This body of water is very glassy with no movement at low tide anyway, it’s a bay location with no waves ! So the reflection is untouched but I did mask off tightly around it to not include minor ripples. Thanks for your interest mate.

Enjoyed your description almost as much as this photo! The lines are terrific, the exposure mesmerizing, and the color is so calming. I’ve become more stingy with my favorites, but this had to be included!
