In the golden light of late afternoon, the mangrove shadows provide a dramatic backdrop for photographing the white pelicans taking off and in flight. Doug is careful to expose for the white of the birds to avoid blown-out images. With his telephoto lens, Doug also shoots a portrait of the eccentric rosy spoonbill, metering the light to include the reflection.
Come along with Doug Gardner and experience photographing birds in the Everglades.
