Shrimp Thief

In this image, a laughing gull (Leucophaeus atricilla) is captured mid-flight, having just snatched a shrimp from the water. Upon closer inspection, the shrimp is visible in the gull's beak, along with droplets of water suspended in the air from its dramatic takeoff. Meanwhile, in the lower left corner, a sanderling (Calidris alba) strolls by, passing a piece of driftwood resting on the sandy shore.

This image portrays a laughing gull mid-flight, having just snatched a shrimp from the water. Its wings spread wide, showcasing a dramatic posture, while the shrimp is clenched in its beak. Below on the sandy shore, a sanderling casually strolls by, adding an element of calm to the dynamic scene. A piece of driftwood sits nearby, enhancing the coastal charm of the setting, with gentle waves in the background completing the tranquil and lively interaction.

Last week I had a lot of fun hanging out with White Ibis on the beach in Florida experimenting with motion blur to create a different feel.

Wide format image of 4 white Ibis feeding in the ocean surf.  It is a bright sunny day with puffy white clouds in the sky.  The ocean is a light green color and you can see the blur of the waves crashing on the beach and the surf rolling in.  The Ibis are entering the frame from the right and moving left.  There is some blur to show movement but the front bird is more defined than the rest.

Wir haben heute bei einem Spaziergang am #Strand einen an der #Ostsee eher seltenen Gast gesehen. Einen #Sanderling, eigentlich in der Arktis wohnend, hier aber zum #Überwintern. War niedlich anzusehen, wie er geschĂ€ftig seiner Arbeit nachkam.

An American Avocet feeds in the Great Salt Lake early one April morning. This was such a beautiful and peaceful morning with the snow capped mountains in the background. I really need to get back there!

This is a tall vertical frame.  An American Avocet is posed in the shallow water of the Great Salt Lake.  The bird is in the lower right third of the frame facing left with its bill angled down into the water.  The scene is very blue as this was taken early in the morning.  There is a reflection in the calm lake water in the foreground and there are blue snow capped peaks in the background.

On the last day of our workshop in Utah this past spring, the sunset was absolutely amazing and the sky was on fire. I love the flow of the composition and how the clouds frame the Avocet. April 2024.

An American avocet poses all alone in the lower right third of the frame.  It is sunset and the sky is on fire with yellow, orange and pink tones.  The avocet is a silhouette and is facing left and dipping in the water to feed.  The horizon is in the lower third of the frame and there is a strong reflection.  Orange clouds are crossing from the horizon on the far left to the sky on the right.  With the reflection, the clouds form a large arrow pointing to the left, the same direction the bird faces.

Mudflat Wanderer

The textures of the low tide mudflats make this photograph of a foraging sanderling (Calidris alba) captivating, especially with its reflection in the shallow water between the rises. Look closely, and you'll notice a tiny, barely visible morsel in the bird's beak.

I've had several inquiries about how to get prints of my photographs. Photography is a hobby for me, so I haven't been equipped to handle those requests. However, I enjoy what I'm doing and want to share my work.

To make it easier, I set up an account and website with Pixels. You can visit my website at:

If you want a print of one of my photographs, you can get it there. If I haven't uploaded the photo you want, let me know which one it is, and I'll gladly upload it for you.

"The image showcases a sanderling, a small shorebird, navigating the low tide mudflats. The bird is captured in a side profile, showcasing its distinct markings and slender legs. A tiny morsel is barely visible in its beak, highlighting the sanderling's foraging activity. The mudflats present a mix of wet and dry textures, with reflections of the bird visible in the shallow water. The warm lighting indicates that the photo was likely taken during the golden hour, either at sunrise or sunset. The photographer's watermark, "© Swede's Photographs," is present in the top right corner." - Copilot

I had a blast with shorebirds this fall! The variations of light, perspective and background I was able to get were incredible. This Sanderling is posing in front of a group of Dunlin roosting in the distance as the sun rose and cast its beautiful golden light.

Sanderling standing in shallow water on left side of frame in soft golden light.  Out of focus white orbs are in the background which are actually Dunlin roosting.  The sanderling is centered vertically with a soft reflection beneath.  This image has very strong tones of gold.

Tidal Pool Runner

I love these images of birds moving across water, they convey action - they're fun. This is a sanderling (Calidris alba) and even though the bird isn't quite in focus, it is enjoyable.

"The Sanderling is one of the world’s most widespread shorebirds. Though they nest only in the High Arctic, in fall and winter you can find them on nearly all temperate and tropical sandy beaches throughout the world." - allaboutbirds.org

"The image captures a charming sanderling mid-stride as it scampers across a serene tidal pool. One of its legs is lifted, which gives a wonderful sense of motion. The calm water of the tidal pool mirrors the bird and includes some scattered seaweed or debris, adding a touch of natural texture. The background is blurred to keep the viewer’s attention on the lively sanderling and its reflection.

The image has a signature "© Swede's Photograph" in the bottom left corner, a nice nod to the talent behind the lens." - Copilot
