TITLE: Hungry Sandpipers

This image was taken early in morning from a cliff overlooking the beach in Santa Barbara.
As the low tide set in, the sandpipers were eager to feed on the freshly exposed crustaceans
on the beach. This long-exposure image visualizes the dance between the scavenging birds
and the tidal waves.

This image was taken with a D800e coupled with a 70-200mm f2.8 VRI tele lens (at 98mm).
Exposure 4sec at f20 with an ND9 filter (at ISO125) .
