Sanderlings flock the shoreline on a gloomy winter evening. As dusk closes in, this city of ghosts comes to life. As I observed the sheer number of birds in awe, I knew I had to capture the sheer number of birds, and it occurred to me that I could capture the movement of that flock as well by opting for a long exposure wide angle photo. The blue hues of the evening sky felt surreal as I fired away hundreds of photos, eventually capturing this beautiful scene.

Nature photography has become a very passionate hobby of mine and whenever I get a chance I love to get outside and enjoy being outdoors. I am also the co-owner of KGM Expressions, a wedding and portrait photography business, with my wife Kim. This is how we make our living and I love that we get to do that together.
