Marbled Godwit walking on mudflats - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA
Silhouette of a Marbled Godwit foraging on mudflats:
This photograph was taken on my recent trip to the South Carolina. It is always fun to shoot at this particular location. At the right conditions, within and hour or two of shooting, one can add so many new type of photographs to his/hers portfolio. On pages 11 and 15 of my guide, I share tips how to prepare and get similar shots to this one.
As already mentioned in my previous posts, this place is simply magical! Incorporating the glittering wet sand with the bokeh circles in the foreground adds so much more interest to the scene, don’t you think?
