About the Artwork
The Story: This magnificent wildlife photograph captures a brilliant Snowy Egret lifting off into flight over Weber Bay, its uplifted wings beautifully illuminated by the glowing morning sun. Historically, these long, wispy breeding plumes were so highly valued for 19th-century fashion that they were worth twice the price of gold, a crisis that sparked modern conservation laws like the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to protect them from extinction. As a wildlife conservation photographer, documenting these resilient birds on the open water highlights the enduring triumph of environmental protection across the Great Salt Lake's vital bay systems. Explore this and other conservation-focused avian images across my online [Shop Birds of a Feather].
The Technique: Captured handheld from a fast-moving airboat using a high-resolution Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera and a powerful 200-500mm Nikkor zoom lens. To safely navigate the swift watercraft while tracking the bird, I kept my gear locked into a specialized body harness system, utilizing an ultra-fast shutter speed to perfectly freeze the golden, translucent light shining through the feathers of the wings.
