Becke, you have a gift. That shot is really artistic, interesting, beautiful.....

With all the time I have been spending lately at Boundary Bay (eight hours of lying in the mud under the hot sun on some days), I have come away with many good images, many of which are artistic. Here are some of my favorite artistic shorebird shots from my past couple visits to the bay:

Liron, that first shot full of birds, reminds me of the flying keys in one of the Harry Potter movies, very cool. The second group is my favorite, wall to wall birds, amazing. The final capture with the perfectly focused bird surrounded by the soft smudges of color is lovely (and artistic too).

I know this isn't a bird but here is one artistic shot that I took this morning of a Black Bear crossing a road:

Great shot Liron! I love it, very nice perspective on that bear. Congratulations!

Beautiful Liron! So happy you found my friends!

Terrific concept for a thread, Kameko. And so many interesting photos.

Below is a full screen capture of a female American Dipper, shot on a near freezing day in 1080p, 30 fps, 1/60 on the shutter speed. The clip is actually a crystal clear shot of her in a fast flowing river, but the still reveals another view altogether. Distance to subject was about 3.0 meters.

The slate grey riverine world of these extraordinary songbirds is breathtaking. They seem as comfortable in the air and on land as they do underwater. Hope to have a vid out before the end of the year on these reclusive birds. I think I was lucky to have gotten any shots at all.

What a lovely shot of the dipper thank you for sharing!

This Pelagic Cormorant juvenile shows how wet the feathers get, no water repellent at all.

nice shot of the wood duck Melissa!

This is from the colony farm walk a few weeks back.
