…morning light is magic…

Ground Level Photography from Galveston’s FeatherFest

Here are the group photos from Saturday’s Ground Level Photography field trip at Bolivar Flats.  Had a great time with lots of laughs from this group.

The morning started out ominous with very high winds, close to 30 mph, and high surf.  Wasn’t sure that we would see any birds until we got further down the shoreline.  Found an estimated 3,000 American Avocets huddled together within shooting distance.  You can see some of the remaining Avocets behind the group in the photos below.  Lots of belly crawling involved.  Turned out to be a very productive morning.

Participants can copy full size photos from my website:

    Thanks Stephen. My ground pod field trips are popular and sell out quickly for FeatherFest. They have a great time and get some photos that they would not normally get from standing up.

    Thanks for your comments. I always have as much fun as you guys do. The butt shot was tempting…
