About the Artwork
The Story: This magnificent landscape photograph captures a massive flock of Western Sandpipers cutting through the air, their sweeping synchronized patterns reflecting beautifully into the shallow waters of the Great Salt Lake as we crossed via the Weber River delta. Photographed just prior to their departure, these birds aggressively gather to strengthen their wings for an incredible migration that will take them all the way to Central and South America. As a wildlife conservation photographer, documenting these flocks emphasizes the irreplaceable value of North America's largest terminal lake, a crucial hemispheric stopover where up to 190,000 sandpipers arrive to forage in the rich, shallow waters. Explore this and other conservation-focused shorebird 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 shifting flight patterns of the flock, I kept my gear locked into a specialized body harness system, utilizing an ultra-fast shutter speed to freeze the individual wings and the perfect mirrors reflecting off the glassy water.
