Shore Birds

Woodbridge, VA

Last summer was a great opportunity to photograph shore birds. Some neighbors of my mother built nesting platforms for seahawks at the end of their pier. Along Featherstone Shores large birds will congregate and fly around the area looking for food. With the new nesting platforms, there were osprey that now stayed longer term.

At this part of the river, there are many piers that jut out into the water. With the neighbor having the platforms for the shore birds, I wanted to get a closer look. In the meantime, I took out a camera with me in case there would be a chance for some action.

Quietly, I walked out to the end of the pier, and setup my position for photographing the birds at the nest. Even though I had the longest lens that I own, I was still woefully short! Indeed birding photography requires the longest lenses to get the most outstanding images! While I had this lens racked out to 200mm, you would need something much longer to get the birds properly such as 400mm or 600mm!

Thanks to Marielle Pabon for inviting us to cover her event again this year. Although our company covered the 2015 event, I had to send a substitute. By comparison, there has been a nice update to the ballroom decoration. Because I am a technology nerd, I really like the new gobo projections. While the logo can still be seen, it is not as reflective. Since I use flashes on all the photos, this makes a good balance!

Professional Shows

After all the students finished their routines, and competed in All Arounds, it was time for the big show. During the last section of the event, we had eight routines from most of the participating studios. Although not a competition, the effort put on by these professionals was excellent! At this point, the dancers won over not only their own studio mates, but all the others as well. In reality, each had some aspects that everyone could take and apply to their dancing.
