With a full day for photography ahead of me, I concocted a course of action to head to Sandy Hook National Recreation Area in New Jersey. Many photographers are drawn to the area for various reasons: portrait shoots on the beach, sunrise/sunset captures, and bird photography. Tentatively, I blocked off the time in my head… afternoon of chasing around birds and early evening to try some creative sunset images.
I did wind up with several pics that I liked, but this one really stood out to me:
Up close and personal view of a small and vivid woodland songbird, a Magnolia Warbler. Photo taken with the Tamron SP 150-600mm VC lens and the Canon EOS 7D.
The above uncropped telephoto view was taken with the Tamron SP 150-600mm lens and the Canon EOS 7D DSLR. Exposure settings: 1/1250 F/8 ISO 800
