In North America, the highest high tides of the year occur during a winter new moon when the earth is closest to the sun and both sun and moon are pulling in the same direction. This photo was from January's highest tide and I've just now gotten around tom processing it: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/rallidae/clra02.html Technical stuff: R8/DMR @ ISO 400, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, shoulder stock & monopod, probably an extension tube. Location is Arrowhead Marsh near the Oakland airport. All comments welcome.
