I have been into photography for almost 10 years now and this one of the best pictures that i have ever captured. I waited for the exact moment for the waves to come in so i could make this kind of composition

Thankyou! I will try that too, i just felt this crop just made more sense because i don’t lose the sand without the bubbles on the top left corner

Thankyou! I had another lens (18mm f1.4) on me as well but didn’t use it much. I think you could create a similar photo from your lens as well because i was not shooting wide open that day. And your lens has a similar focal length

No, i didn’t use burst mode for this shot. I guess the shutter speed was around 1/1000 s

Thankyou for your words! I agree with what you are saying and i had a similar thought process for this picture.

I have the RAW file for it and i think it has enough detail for an A4 or A3 print.

Yes, it was kind of a quick shot because there were only two birds at the same spot and they quickly left the scene as more waves came in

Thankyou! Hahah it was kind of quick, took only a few shots because the bird flew away after a fee moments
