These are the photographs you rarely get the opportunity to shoot. Never mind actually getting them, it’s the chance you don’t ever get. That’s why I chose the title I did.
This White Pelican did a glide past me and gently eased into landing.
By this time I had been shooting them for about an hour and was at the point I was missing the good shots, big gear does get heavy.
About five years ago I had this opportunity in a Florida salt marsh. I caught maybe two good images. Good thing I didn’t remember that when I was shooting LOL.
When the big feet touched the water I was hoping my aim was good because I wanted the ‘water ski’ landing.
There were a few more good images but this article already has more than usual.
To end… I was a happy camper LOL.
Love this action series!
I don’t get many chances at ones like this 🙂 Thanks.
Terrific photos 😊
Thanks. The Pelicans May have moved on already so I’m glad I had the chance to shoot as many photographs as I did.
Wonderful!
Regards Thom
Fabulous!
It was a good couple of days, LOL. Thank you.
Landing skills are amazing! Ted, these are amazing series of photos.
This was a good day for photographing the Pelican. They were feeding and my spot was perfect for capturing tons of images. Thanks.
