Description

Aug 9, 2013, The shorebirds have finally arrived at Bayswater Beach and surrounding shoreline. Back Backman Road it was almost high tide and lots of flies around the seaweed. As the birds were eating it was possible to get relatively close. A bit disappointed that I was not able to get any in flight images, but shorebirds are so sporadic in their movements and it will take a significant amount of time to build the knowledge and anticipation to get those shots. Well in the mean time here is a portrait shot at a low angle by laying down on the rock and crawling up to peek over the edge, with the angle to get the water in the background. Shot on an overcast day the background provides a nice contrast and clean background. I used Topaz ReMask 3 to allow me to darken the background a bit and lighten the bird as well as use the mask to do selective noise reduction.
