This shot was taken while walking along the Beach at Hervey bay in Queensland. The sun was just beginning to disappear below the horizon, spilling a brilliant orange glow over the beach. I found this group of Pelicans basking in the warm light and immediately went for my camera. The group didn’t seem to mind my presence and were unfazed as I crouched down to get some shots. I zoomed in close so the pelican group filled the fame and took my metering from the bright sunlit chest of the centre bird. I then composed to include a little foreground, centred the group in the fame to add some impact and released the shutter. I particularly love this shot as I was able to capture the attention of the pelican group and the warm soft light from the setting sun creates such a relaxing feel about the image.
