Rising Bokeh!!
As a photographer i always aspire to try getting a different persective to things. A different angle, or different lighting, A new feel or mood.. Given that I primarily shoot wildlife it does get to be a challenge - but then that also makes it more exciting. I'd shot the flamingoes a few times this season and was hoping I'd get a chance to execute that one shot I had visualised. It did require a bit of adventure where I actually had to go into the water - and trust me when I say that wading through water carrying a 600mm isn't the easiest thing ive done! I did get rewarded - the bokeh i got at the level of water against the rising sun made it look like there were gold crystals spread all over the water ... Canon EOS 5D Mark III + Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS II USM 1/3200, f/32, ISO 100 via 500px ift.tt/1CZMYrJ
