So nice to see American Golden-Plover last Sunday at Gull Point, but the lighting/etc. conditions were awful – long distance, backlit subjects, and heat shimmer galore. As such, please enjoy mostly mediocre photography:
Heat shimmer is no joke, e.g., note the ‘wavy appearance’ of the air in this video clip:
[Photo Editor’s note: normally best to photograph subjects facing away from the sun, i.e., thereby the subject is front lit. Access at Gull Point is limited with the ‘rope trail,’ however, making re-positioning (of the camera relative to the subject) mostly impractical.]
this Team Member loves back lit photos! thanks, Team Leader, for showing what excellent back lit photos can look like! Good job, as always!
No one likes backlit photos unless they’re ‘artsy,’ which these aren’t, but thanks 🙂
