I am not sure why but my favorite images from the latest visit to Florida were all taken under low light conditions and have a feeling of the spotlight about them. Almost all were shot underexposed - in a couple cases, dramatically so.
This Brown Pelican, above, flew into the first light just at sunrise. The extreme low tide adds to the feeling of darkness. These birds seem prehistoric to me at the best of times but especially so in this image!
I was thrilled to capture this group of preening White Pelicans just after day break. Underexposing for the brightness of their feathers left the background moody and dark.
This Great Blue Heron stood stoically as a flock of Dunlin flew by him. The smaller birds can't seem to sit still and kept swirling around the calmer, large bird.
I managed to capture several frames of this White Pelican coming in for a landing. The water almost looks like ice as he gets ready to touch down.
